I know they're not yours. I didn't mean you as you, but a generic entity.

mmmark's comment meant to address OTOH's simplistic view on civilians trapped in war realities.

A lobbying group can sway a CIC to some oil action.

For what it's worth, between AI and the UN, the latter's a more scintillating disappointment.

Becki, it doesn't have to stop to a literal scrawl of your pen on a campaign. You may interpret the ad's message where sharing your mark (signature) as being involved on a concrete and personal level, and it doesn't have to be via AI. Even just by involving yourself, say as a member with a group (hey, some signing involved there, too), support in any way is good; not everyone wants to be and has to be in the gritty action.

And I agree AI has leanings; then again, there's not one "global" agency that doesn't and let's not get started on the UN. If you find AI irrelevant, no quibbles about that. As long you don't say defenseless people deserve to be herded and slaughtered, because it's a totally different can o' worms.

Becki, I personally don't find actions of this nature the most efficient, but I appreciate the awareness that it incites. And OTOH isn't really addressing the ad, but the victims themselves. I give OTOH some credit that he/she actually grasps the severity of situations like these, but oversimplifies the solution-- people who are unable to fight for/protect themselves MUST be enjoying their romanticized victimization because they're not doing anything, right? Boo hoo, right? Yeah, these people don't deserve exposure nor sympathy. It's not an argument, it's misanthropic elitism.

OTOH, though I am unable to decide if your comment's ignorant or idiotic, it's a relief to know that at least you got what the video meant to invoke.
