Angelina Jolie, On Darfur

Angelina Jolie, on Darfur

The hipper the people are who do good things, the hipper it becomes to do good things. And as an added bonus, it just plain draws awareness. So, cynicism be damned, I'm totally in favor of celebrity advocacy.

It's all so sad. Really. We, as a society, are so self-centered that even if it became "hip" to do good things, we'd still find some reason not to. After all, isn't it more fun to call you friends and give them the latest on Britney, Paris or Lindsey?

Take heart Seanie, there are tons of incredibly selfless people doing incredible things, saving lives and building an army of do-gooders with their do-gooding. They're around...just not always where we look.
