International: Ben Affleck Writes About Congo for Time

February 21st, 2009

A man best known for the attention he draws on film screens is turning his attention to a conflicted African nation. Actor Ben Affleck has recently written his observations of the Democratic Republic of the Congo for Time magazine. Affleck has traveled to the area several times. In his Time submission, he writes: “In the past 10 years alone, millions have died here, and more die each day as a result of the conflict. Most die not from war wounds, but from starvation or disease…That should not be the case in Congo.”

I can’t believe this comment chain got so stupid and so quickly away from the important topic that Affleck risked his life to inform you idiots about. Get a life and learn something about the world outside your shallow and useless existences.
