a bit of advertising

OK well many a passerby has hit up the comments section of this thing to post their adverts. Thas ok, we all gotta get by somehow. But here's my little pitch for y'all passing by, please do take a look:

http://www.sudandivestment.com/divesting.html

Therein's a list of companies still giving money to the Khartoum gov't in Sudan, that possibly helps fuel the current conflict there (which has yet to see some good days). There was an urge to use the idiom it has seen better days but I think those days were at least a couple decades back and I can't myself harken back to those times so I won't ask you to either. We'll focus on the future and hope that better days will come.

Anyhow, check that site out because if you're invested in any of those companies, I encourage you to take your money out. And if you like to use their products, think again perhaps because we all want to be socially responsible consumers I know. I would make a note on the number of companies coming from particular regions but perhaps that would affect some people who might be quick to be offended by those kinds of things. But of course, you can't judge a person by her country's government...

Good. I will tune in again for more interesting things, hopefully sooner than two months past the last post.
