Two minute silence

[ciphergoth]

At 12:00 BST today, London and many around the world observed a two minute silence for the 48 people who died in the terrorist attacks on London on 7 July.

During those two minutes, approximately 42 children worldwide died due to poverty.

We are not going to let terrorists cause us to lose perspective.

I dont normnally disallow comments, in this case I was going for shock and the thought it creates (I know for one I dont score close to perfectly against the metrics I list there, but in writing it I've had to confront those issues in myself)

The main problem with this kind of discussion on LJ is that you are preaching to the choir, the people already doing something and that what you say doesnt reach those that really need to hear it, but then would they listen?
