Well, I know that there are children starving in Africa, and can say this is sad and I am &quot;very concerned&quot;, but otherwise it has close to zero emotional impact on me. It&#x27;s an abstract issue. I <i>actually feel about drone strike victim stronger</i>, because I&#x27;ve seen the pictures, read the stories, seen the math.<p>The point is, this issue is totally disconnected from the lives of most people. You need to get them invested emotionally. Make a blockbuster movie. Harry Potter and The HellFires of Voldemort. Or something. Invite the Pakistani that lost his arm, leg and half of the family to US drone strike. And then keep pounding at people with the topic.<p>If we can&#x27;t get people to care about this more than they care about &quot;slut shaming&quot; or Ferguson or Comcast, we truly have failed as a civilization.
