KONY-2012; A Letter to my Teenager

excerpted from an
Article first published as KONY-2012; A Letter to my Teenage Son on Technorati.

Dearest Son, and any teenage friends who read this site;
Checked the Kony video and something isn't right.
Did a little research and I found out that the group
Who's behind the movement faces questions. Here's the scoop;

Critics have been arguing the film tells half the tale;
Blown the size of Kony's army way, way out of scale.
Didn't make it clear enough that Kony's on the run.
Have some pictures of group leaders brandishing a gun.

They're accused of raising funds they're spending on themselves.
Studied the financials and, the further in one delves
Turns out only somewhere around 33%
Of the money raised on any children has been spent.

In the group's defense; they say their mission's to inform.
That is how the money's spent. Now, facing this s*@!-storm,
They insist that they're legit... And I think they mean well.
(If they're scamming people they will surely rot in hell.)

Scattered here throughout this post are links so you can learn.
They're official documents; the tone is rather stern.
But, by going to the source and reading what you find
You will have the tools you need to make up your own mind.
