Assistance Needed: Homeless man finds inspiration through activism

[Holise E. Cleveland III]

My dear friends,

During the last incident involving the homeless in Rome, Georgia, you made the article in the Rome News-Tribune the “Most Commented Upon” issue for the week. Of course, you had some help.

As I have always said, “Controversy turns a mere subject into an issue.” The naysayers are at it again. They are spewing their pessimism, as this is what they do. They are too ignorant, of course, to realize that they are indirectly lending a hand to spreading the word of our causes.

Please visit the article and participate in the conversation. Remember to be respectful and compassionate. You do not want to become one of them. They want to blow this out of proportion, so why not assist them. Take this opportunity to keep the article at the top of the “most commented” section so that many more will read it and be educated.

As Louis Psihoyos said, “To me, you’re either an activist or an inactivist.” Let’s show them what cyber activists can do.

I will be watching. I could nip things in the bud now, but I want to let them create the controversy that comes with worthy causes. I will comment at a later date.

Definition of COMPASSION
: sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it
