Though this is a terrible source, it seems legit. http://ctrlv.in/69829

That's a common misconception. Daylight Savings was actually proposed by George Hudson, who was inspired by a similar idea Ben Franklin mentioned. So Franklin sort of thought of it first, But Hudson deserves the credit for it.

Oh, let's forget about global economic failure, a worldwide energy crisis, a turbulent middle east, and any other problem for a small African country which should be the world's biggest concern! It's not like there are injustices happening anywhere else in the world...

ah. but this is one thing where pure awareness can actually solve the problem, unlike the examples you stated. the more people know about Kony, the more the government care, the more likely they are to help out. don't be a dick.

Okay, its not like you are doing shit about those other issues anyway. This is one that you can actually help. If you won't be loud, then dont get in the way.
