To: a fool in paradise

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.

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...)
