Human Rights: Beyond Moral Imperative

Human rights advocates often seize upon a moral imperative and the rather giving nature of the American public in dealing with human rights events. If we really give a damn about human rights, we need to move beyond the moral imperative, into an action based plan. We can listen to people talk about the starving children of Africa until we’re blue in the damn face, but its’ precious few souls who have dared to do anything about this moral imperative, other than say we should do something.
