I have been reading this= http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1573223093/104-0943000-6574365?v=glance. Here's cool quote by the guy who just wont go away...he's unreal. I wish it were different. I expect less but he comes with more and keeps showing up everywhere....in my life.

"Right now there is the biggest pandemic in the history of civilization, happening in world now with AIDS. It's bigger than the Black Death, took a third of Europe in the Middle Ages. Sixty-five hundred Africans are dying every day of a preventable, treatable disease. And it is not a priority for the West: two 9/11s a day, eighteen jumbo jets of fathers, mothers, families falling out of the sky. No tears, no letters of condolence, no fifty-one-gun salutes. Why? Because we don't put the same value on African life as we put on a European or an American life. God will not let us get away with this, history certainly won't let us get away with our excuses. We say we can't get these antiretroviral drugs to the farthest reaches of Africa, but we can get them our cold fizzy drinks. The tiniest village, you can find a bottle of Coke. Look if we thought that an African life was equal in value to an English, a French, or an Irish life, we wouldn't let two and half million Africans die every year for the stupidest of reasons: money. We just wouldn't."

--- Bono, p. 81
