maybe Bono doesn't realize the west has been pumping money into africa for 50+ years and hasn't made a dent in the quality of life there. Possibly if the money found its way to the people rather than going into some dick-tator's pocket. Also, read a survey 2 weeks ago where Nokia polled africans and they said they'd rather buy a mobile phone than rice. So me thinks the africans are solely to blame for their own problems and I hope that none of my hard-earned money gets sent over there.
Posted in: Based on how well they are keeping their Africa promises, some nations have been really dragging down the G-8 as a whole, questioning the relevance of this group. The irony of their collective increasing impotence is that we have never more needed bold leadership on the big issues of our time.

yes but the beijing govt uses 100 as the dividing line for good/bad air quality, while the rest of the world's accepted line is 50...using 50 means that there were maybe 3 days all year that the air quality was good...using 100 obviously is in the c-govts interest because it makes things appear better than they are
