A few dollars here and there are affordable by almost all.
So if we took those few affordable dollars from everyone and added them up it'd be a rather sizable chunk of money. Which means it could be put towards doing something more visible... Isn't this how charities and special interest groups work already?
No one ..... to educate the public, to make this a national issue.
Because it's not necessary to do those things to make it a national issue. Besides, and I hate to say it, it probably wouldn't accomplish much were you to take some of those drastic measures, yet when a celebrity goes out and helps out with a token bit of effort they're touted as heroes? A bit backwards don't you think?
I don't think people appreciate just how little talk alone helps anyone.
Talking is one of the best ways to get the information out there for people so they can be educated and spread out the information. It's the whole if you tell two people something, and they tell two people, and so on and so on, you eventually will have reached a large audience by only telling two people to start. I have no idea how many conversations have been started about this topic in people's homes since having read this, do you?
