Survival of the fittest would imply that Australia's poor and those in Africa are on an equal playing field, with equal opportunities. This is far from true.

Originally posted by Malahide:Why people criticize Bono. He's been in Africa already while he was relatively unknown (Ethiopia 1985) and since then has brought Africa to the attention of people as one of the few people who didn't let go on this subject. Ok, the speeches during a concert sometimes bore me as well, but we all know that's part of being Bono. Bono, the man you love to hate, guess someone has to take that part.
But during economic downturn I also can understand people say that first look into your own country and then solve others. Holland is a small country and we give loads to charities. But still we have water, food, tv, radio, can go to concerts, have a car, electric etc etc
One thing I've always wondered though, 28 years after live aid 1, why is this still an issue, where has all the money gone, and it must be loads of money. Dictators, civil wars? It's like throwing money in a well without a bottom and you never see it back. To solve problems this needs to be structured. As we say here, don't give them fish but learn them how to fish. In that regards, Edun was to help local farmers. And there came the critics again, they do it for the money, to get them a conscious blahblah. Also here again, they (Ali and Bono) sticked in what they believe, taking large losses in the begin. That's why they moved production also to fair trade companies in China, but now try to go back to their original business plan, with help of Diesel.
Will there ever be no hunger? Who knows. It's all about the money. If only we could stop cheap fabricating and support economies/build partnerships by placing orders there that would help much more then throwing just millions over the fence.
To come back to Bono, if people say he actually doesn't give a s..t about Africa, listen to the 360 concert from Johannesburg where he was few times in tears taking about the continent.

Agente Infiltrado: U2 em Portugal em 2015
O Agente Infiltrado descobriu que os U2 regressam a Portugal em 2015 para um concerto num estádio.
Os fãs dos U2, que continuam a poder reclamar o epíteto de maior banda do mundo, poderão admirar a prestação de Bono e camaradas ao vivo no ano de 2015. Isto é, ainda faltam dois anos para o regresso da banda de Boy aos palcos portugueses.
A informação, recolhida junto de fontes bem informadas no que respeita a concertos de estádio em Portugal, garante que os U2 só passarão pela Europa nesse ano. O que não deixa de bater certo com os rumores que nos últimos meses têm sido difundidos em sites de fãs dos U2, segundo os quais o novo álbum chegará aos escaparates ainda este ano, começando a nova digressão em 2014 em terras americanas.
