This article makes me want to cry every time I read it. It makes me angry and sad, because it's true and it's happening right now, and people ignore it. Or convince themselves that it's not happening, or it's not real, or it's a lie. Or they find it funny - because maybe someone made a joke, or maybe it was used in a humorous way on Family Guy or South Park, and if TV says it's okay to laugh at it, why shouldn't we?

I think the best way to help change this attitude is to be aware and to encourage others to be aware.
