sign of the times

Here's a banner courtesy of Mustafa Kurtuldu from London! (found on Harry's Place blog) Perhaps not much less naive than the "Make Poverty History" platitude but nevertheless a serious call to arms. Whereas "Make Poverty History" asks our governments to pony up more tax dollars, this banner simply asks us to recognize our reality and to fight attempts at obscuring it. Resist the usual suspects' blathering about root causes and indulging in affluence induced self-flagelation. Recognize this menace for what it is and fight it whichever way you can: being prepared and not living in denial is a good start!
