...I am seized by each, and moved by its potential to change our world.
Return of the Automobile as a Sexual Object ...That’s why the Obama administration — while it still holds the keys to the big automakers — ought to put some style fascists into the mix...
Intellectual Property Developers ...A decade’s worth of music file-sharing and swiping has made clear that the people it hurts are the creators... and the people this reverse Robin Hooding benefits are rich service providers, whose swollen profits perfectly mirror the lost receipts of the music business...
An Equal Right to Pollute (and the Polluter-Pays Principle) ...each person has an equal right to pollute and that there might somehow be a way to monetize this. By this accounting, your average Ethiopian can sell her underpolluting ways...
A Person and a Word ...angiogenesis inhibitors ...In a world worrying about whether it can afford health care, advances in prevention are at a premium....
Matter Doesn’t Matter ...it seems to have something to do with teleporting properties or bits of information, not physical objects...
Festival of Abraham ...The idea is an arts festival that celebrates the origin of the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam....
People Power and the Upside-Down Pyramid Much has been written about the profits to be made at the bottom of the pyramid; less has been said about the political power there...
Taking the Fight to Rotavirus
Viva la (Nonviolent) Revolución “I am living testimony to the moral force of nonviolence.” (Obama)
So, he might have added, are the Germans and Eastern Europeans who came out a couple of months ago to celebrate the anniversary of the fall of the Wall

Bono- The single largest amount of douche ever bagged.
Just think how much better off we'lll be if Ethiopians would just die.
Just think if an Ethiopian was rich enough to own their own jet and fly it around (like Bono), then it would really server the greater good if that Ethiopian would just die.
But since Ethiopians don't own their own jets and you do......
Bono does his analysis of the world’s problems like most urban, politically correct leftists. Full of contradictions.
For example, he promotes: “Twaweza, a citizen’s organization, is spreading across East Africa, helping people hold local officials accountable for managing budgets and delivering services.” This is just “Representative Democracy” or perhaps “local vs. Federal power,” but then Bono wants the UN or some other world body to impose carbon taxes on everyone.
Muddled is the best word to describe him.
*...he’s going to ramp up his/and the band’s, public profile now...their US tour kicks off first of June...top seats are going for $1200 a pop...all the big acts are touring now...that’s where the money is since file sharing.*
That’s where the money’s ALWAYS been. The parties getting hurt by file sharing are the record companies. The artist has always gotten squat in payment for selling records, unless you’re a megastar.
I think this guy fancys himself a country gentleman.
What happens when the underpolluting Ethiopians immigrate to some non-third world nation and begin polluting? Do they have to pay a tax penalty like those who get a tax deferment and then don’t abide by the agreement?
Not just redistribution on “carbon usage” to third worlds but redistribution of money sprent on internet usage to record companies (owned by corporate giants, some of which conveniently also offer internet services...)

It looks as if they are about to reproduce somehow!
I have verifiable information that boNo is simply the largest turd on the planet. I wish I could get back that 50 bucks I spent taking my girlfriend to a U2 concert 20 years ago. Oh, and his guitar player sucks a$$.
Now where is that file sharing program I misplaced? I think I'll go rip off some of his shitty little ditties and dump them in the loo.
Gaahh! I think I was at that same show...or one just like it. 20 years ago in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
There is one song and one song only from U2 that I like. That song is “Bad” from The Unforgettable Fire album.
Beyond that, they suck.
Here is a link to “Bad” by U2.

The mind boggles. I remember a couple of years ago a friend of mine offered me free tickets to a U2 show and I declined even though I had nothing else to do. Meh.
Thanks..
