What does Live 8's goal mean to the average Joe?
So all of these millionaire rock stars want our government to forgive the African debt. Does that mean our deficit will rise or our taxes will be higher? Will we just be giving oil to African countries who will become the next Saudi Arabia? Does Africa even make a monthly payment to Uncle Sam for this debt?
I really want to see Pink Floyd reunited but I am not sure where I stand on their goal. Does anyone have info. on the impact of Todays concert on our economy? |

I predict that the deman for razor blades will go up if they try to do "Hands Accross America" again next.

All I know is the USA is contributes the most, dollar for dollar, cash benefits, and food, to the cause as it is. Not to mention the 4.5 billion dollars donated in 2003.
Offensive statement below, take it for what it is, a horrible joke... "We should have sent helicotpers over there with 4.5 billion zippers instead of encouraging the lack of abstinence"

Personally, I think it's monumental waste of money fueled by a bunch of posturing egos.
I believe in the old adage about give a man a fish vs teaching him to fish. If these people are dying, it's be cause they live in a climate that's not conducive to life. What would the world be missing if they all dropped dead?

Let these multi-millionaire bleeding heat douchebags give enough of their own money so that they have as much left I as I do now, and then perhaps I'll pay attention to them.

[QUOTE] That pretty much sums up all the activist crap that comes out of hollywood or from musicians. They live in 30 room homes in beverly Hills and then tell us that we Americans should give more. I'll give them something alright ![]() |

The real problem in Africa is corrupt governments impeding economic growth. No amount of aid will help. Aid is usually counterproductive because it helps the crooks maintain power. A recent report in Kenya has found that dishonest government officials have looted $280 BILLION from that country alone! The bleeding hearts don't want to discuss this, they just want to feel good by sending our money down this bottomless pit.

Spending a Saturday afternoon out in the over-populated, holiday weekend public has pushed the limits of my fuse. I guess it boiled over into that post.

I'd prefer to see Americans spending their dollars on less fortunate Americans myself.
But if it gets Pink Floyd to play again I guess I'm behind it...

Amazing how quick poverty, war, and racism would end if everyone picked up the dog turds in their own back yard before peeking over the fence and complaining about the neighbors...
