Betting against humanitarians

I would be willing to bet that 99% or more of the people/organizations that call themselves human rights activists have done little more than run their mouths to improve human rights. And I'd bet that 99% of the places that have seen substantive human rights improvements have needed more than talk from jerks who just like to hear themselves called human rights activists to get those improvements. I'd bet 99% or more of people who call themselves peace activists have done nothing to bring peace to the world. Most of the peace brought to the world is done so by people who don't spend their time calling themselves peace activists. If you've spent more time fuming about the abuses committed by a few soldiers on one day in November '03 at Abu Ghraib prison than you have about the decades of rape, torture, and murder committed by Saddam's goons in Abu Ghraib, guess what? You are a douche.
