40 years ago, we cared about the world: "We are the World"... (USA for Africa)

--now with USAID demolished, we will let the world die... As one who worked a lot on public health interventions overseas, I am so devastated right now, I can barely function. So when I woke up with Netflix on my iPad and saw the recommendation for the documentary on the making of "We Are the World," I did not ignore the 'cosmic' nudge.

Such a different time. We have lost so much in such a short time--and so many. So too the world in coming days, weeks, months. I dare you to watch without

2. I was thinking about that this morning.

How far we have fallen.

3. We Are The World

We need to be playing this on broadcast TV every day???

4. I know. I'd love to craft a poignant yet pointed ad to run for months and months...

It needs to be drilled into the American conscious as to what we have already lost and stand to lose next.

5. This is just the type of "doing good" project TSF hates

He was probably laughing derisively at the time about all the “do gooder” celebs trying to make a difference in the world. Sick and selfish cynicism is his trademark.

6. Its been 40 years?!

Holy crap!

It is a most excellent idea then, and now. There has to be enough big money stars out there to finance it, and participate. Unless everyone is just too apathetic anymore.
