7. In my opinion...

Anything that raises awareness is always a positive thing.

As many have said, most don't dispute that the information in the video is correct. People can disagree about the best way to deal with such horrors, but awareness must be raised, first and foremost.

They're doing that very successfully, and I applaud this social experiment of getting this video to go viral.

I'm really stunned by the backlash. If this campaign was focused on Invisible Children raising money, I could understand (and we all know to do our own research into organizations before donating).

But the focus is to share the video, to raise awareness.

I know there are always skeptics saying this won't work and that won't work, yada, yada.

But it always ticks me off when the naysayers have no suggestions of their own, yet they always try to destroy those who are at least trying. I don't get it.
