Looks like Bono is finally having is John Lennin moment.
My favorite quote from Lennin:
“America has poured billions into places like that. It doesn’t mean a damn thing. After they’ve eaten that meal, then what? It lasts for only a day. After the $200 million is gone, then what? It goes round and round in circles.”
LOL its still early. I meant John Lennon. As in The Beatles, John Lennon.
Imagine all the people.... Getting jobs and feeding themselves =)

I know what you mean. If a modern Liberal is smart enough and truly honest with himself he will eventually come to realize that his long favored ideology will never actually solve anything. It may take 10, 20, even 30+ years for this to dawn on him but when it happens it is a sign that you are dealing with someone who is willing to try anything to help people. Even if it means admitting he was wrong for the last few decades. Seems that this was happening to Lennon. Maybe it’s happening to Bono now. Anyway, if true, good for him.
Of course, then you have the other kind of Liberal. This liberal/progressive believes in Liberalism as fervently as the evangelical Baptist believes in Christ. He will never lose faith in it. Nothing will ever change his mind, not even dead bodies in the street. He will perform whatever mental gymnastics are necessary maintain his faith. He HAS to because Liberalism IS his true religion no matter what else he may call himself.
