Got the title from Huffington post where they talk about how Clinton is doing some good work trying to raise support for social change and government watch dog groups around the world. But then I saw this sentence and was like ?????
| She recommended that the organization set up an independent means of monitoring repressive measures against social advocacy groups, and that the U.N. Human Rights Council do more to protect civil society. She announced that the U.S. would contributed $2 million to support the work of embattled nongovernmental groups. |
$2 million? $2 million??? that's all? It's like they said "1 million isn't enough, let's make it 2". They couldn't even go to the double digits and at least do 10 million. But there's trillions of dollars for war spending?
If you want to know a person's priorities, look at the places he spends his money. If you want to know a government's priorities, look at where they spend their money. |
