I think the campaign is extraordinary and sends a clear message very similar to the "Arab Spring" that social media will bring these low lives out onto the world stage and can effectively make waves. <br /><br />I also don't believe there is a timeframe you can put on justice being handed down to someone so cruel.Chimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465508285894145718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770216531247431368.post-32559539472247271482012-03-09T11:07:34.631+10:302012-03-09T11:07:34.631+10:30Hi Kate.

Listened to the criticisms, listened to the Journo's (e.g., Hugh Rimington) who first tried to report on this in the 90's. I do believe that social media has changed the world, and given every individual a voice which can be powerful, so I'll be supporting the campaign.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09910910486587115344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770216531247431368.post-53103751404348949822012-03-08T19:01:40.867+10:302012-03-08T19:01:40.867+10:30It really is a big pickle we're in today's...It really is a big pickle we're in today's modern world!
