Light a Candle

Okay, I got this site from an email:

http://www.lightamillioncandles.com

Normally, I don't pay too much attention to emails that are being forwarded or the ones that tell you to go take some personality quiz because forwarded emails usually mean chain letters, which can be fun to read when you're seriously bored, but otherwise, a pathetic waste of time. But this time, I visited the site because I think its really a good cause. Basically, for those of you who are a bit too lazy or afraid to click random links in people's blogs, its a site that's trying to raise awareness about child pornography. Its really sickening how people would actually do this to a children younger than three sometimes. Its bad enough that they're abusing them this way but they have to leave a record of it and post it online for millions of other perverted people to see. These people who are looking at the pictures are abusers too. Just because they weren't there doing anything directly doesn't mean they didn't participate in the act. By looking at the pictures, they become one more person in the world who has seen someone's worse memory without permission, one more scar on their skin. I do know that some of these people who look at porn have a psychological problem and they can't control themselves and they should probably get help, but the thought of a cute little baby being hurt this way disgusts me. Click the link, visit the site. It won't take you any more than five minutes and pass it on to your friends. Make a difference.
