the cynic in me wanted to make it bold, underlined and italic'd for truth .... man i have no faith in humanity (perhaps the best reason why im becoming a soul sucking lawyer) and yeah the idea of Live 8 is noble but i doubt it will really change that much (/cynical rantings)
Titan:
I think the slogan was something like "We want justice, not money".
Anyway, I was actually aware money wasn't being raised in this particular event (and was being paid for with that mobile phone thing) - bad word choice I guess.
My point is more that by "raising awareness", more will donate, like with the tsunami (not that I had a problem with the donations in that instance, despite the fact that months on the money has been almost untouched).
Finally, Gordon Brown and others have already stated that justice in the trade system is what the government (British) was going for in the first place. People like Bush (but don't hold me to it :P ) won't budge though. The politicians are set in their ways and like Iraq, these protests won't do shit. If you think about it, the protests are actually going to be overshadowed by the damn concert!
Oh, and no offense taken, Khar. I know I'm a cynical ass-hole :)
KharBevNor:
Whatever, it got Floyd back together!
:p
ASturge:
People doing their best to do what they know is right.
What the fuck is wrong with that?

Yeah, the closest one to me was Phily and that is an entire continent away from California. How could the organizers ignore the richest and most populous state in the US?
