I realize this post falls close to Valentines Day, but it has nothing to do with that. I was just thinking about a few posts ago; with the "Help the homeless youth" image.
That only needs 1 million people to put their name on it. They dont ask for any information except a name and zip code and to be above 13 years old. The United States has more than 300 million people in it; with more than half owning computers with Internet. Most of them spend their time doing meaningless stuff, like myspace, online poker, looking at youtube videos, or just staring at the screen.
Then I think about how many people care/pay attention to "famous" people, like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. If half as many people cared as much about organizations like "Homeless Youth Among Us" as they did about Britney Spears, the world would be a better place.
For example, I posted a Bulletin with the image in it that asked to repost it, only one person reposted it. Im glad she did but and it is defiantly better than no one reposting, but thats just sad. If I had posted a survey, at least 3 people would have copied it and filled it out, which takes more time than copy-paste. 3 is better than 1.
