		<description>Doesn't anyone feel that Bono is a phoney jackass junky?  I an not believe this fruit pie flys around stealing the spot light in the name of the poor, like Mother Tereasa.

Bono and his honey dripping voice in U2 always made me sick.  When he played rather than boycotted Arizona on Martin Luther King day and told the press it was a form of protest, he made me sick, and now, every time he grabs a headline he still makes me sick.  I guess I am the only one alive who feels this way.

The Laprachan thinks it's hip to be a globe trotting Poverty Pimp, while he dodges his taxes in Ireland.

Come to NYC Bono, a few people want a show you a few things about a few things-- Harpy!</description>

		<description>Bono's efforts are excellent as his work looks to the root causes of AIDS and poverty in Africa. Rather than the band-aid solution of foriegn aid, it is essential that the world community work to create markets in Africa. It will be through the free market, that poverty will slowly evaporate.</description>

appreciate your work here - we really do.

stay close,

		<description>All I can add to what I said in the "Guinness Ghana" post is THANK YOU, BONO, for speaking the truth and for leading the way!

What you said in your responses to these questions is completely true.

Thanks, Lesley, for your marvelous reports from Bono's latest public journey to Africa.

You helped to keep us all connected to the trip.

Now it's UP TO ALL OF US TO MAKE THIS VISION OF A NEW AFRICA A REALITY.

Take good care. Blessings always.

AS ONE, debbie</description>

		<description>This has been enlightening. Too many westerners wont help with aid or mercy because of the impression of corruption - yes it is there, but not in every country of Africa - i think often we mistake the Continent of Africa as being one large country and its not. 

Its also an eye opener to realize that the African people, although they need aid in the short term, have just as much pride as we do and do not want to be beholden to us, but wish to have what they need to be self sufficient. If more of us over here realized that, perhaps the aid would come easier, followed by fair trade... a leg up to continue on their own.

thank you for these reports.</description>

		<description>We're so proud of Bono's work in Africa... There is always at least one African smiling in the photos. I'm sure he not only brought them a way out of poverty, but he gave them hope, which is ONE of the sources of happiness.</description>

		<description>Thanks for a great review.  That's exactly what I wanted to know! Bono is so right - the issues are so complex but I like that the thinking is moving toward Africans directing where and what needs to happen.  I also like the idea of some conditionality in and around developmental support.  Wish I had a business that I could send to Africa to work.  Maybe it will just have to be me instead! 
Thanks again.
