it's electronics, too.

A journey into the most savage war in the world
My travels in the Democratic Vacuum of Congo

by Johann Hari

This article is very likely the single most disturbing and well-written piece of journalism I have ever encountered. I feel betrayed and deceived by modern western cultural dictates; at a loss for words; disgusted and nauseated beyond all imagining. I cannot, in good faith, purchase new electronic goods. Not with those images haunting me. Not with all the suffering that comes with it. it is too high a price to pay.

I feel incredibly overwhelmed by it all. Broken. Impotent.

And what I go through reading an article is nothing, nothing compared to the lives these people endure.

unnatural disasters, bad things
