(OT:) Oh yeah, my other observation of the "Concerts"

is that no one is advocating Personal Responsibility, like why are you driving an Escalade in Manhattan.



So far everything I have heard has been blaming Politicians.



While they are responsible for a LOT of Hot Air (and in Kennedy's case, some pollutants, I'm sure), they aren't the entire cause of "A climate in Crisis" (with the exception of Al Gore of course, but he covers it with 'carbon credits'. Right.)



Is anyone commenting on illiteracy, Mr. I Decide What To Capitalize By Rolling Dice?

And, way out in left field, Mr. JoeSpareBedroom...

Which venue were you watching/listening to? New York? I haven't caught a lot of that one.

I was listening very early to Sydney, Tokyo and Singapore. Glad to see that some personal responsibilities have FINALLY been mentioned! Every time I turn it on someone's blaming the Government.

Because we're so involved in 'personality' and, let's face it

*selfishness* that it's not in our collective conscience to rely on Mass Transit. Plus, if you live where I live, it's a logistics problem. Not enough people ride, so the efforts go unpaid, and transit companies aren't in business to operate at a loss.

So, tell me Mr. LeftField, what good is having a series of concerts doing?

Sounds like bullshit to me. The Bangla Desh concert made sense at the time because the money went somewhere sensible (theoretically). But this? Eh.

Um, when did I *ever* say the money was going somewhere to do some good?

Uh...NEVER.

I'll give you one more post to figure what this whole thing is about.

Oh, and did you get M. Ethridge getting a totally OT comment out there?

So, what good are these concerts doing?

(Other than M. Ethridge campaigning for Hilary...)

A year ago, I had the cable company shut off all but my local stations and PBS. I caught none of this concert, other than knowing it exists.

Not being able to see or hear it has NOTHING to do with why they are being held.

I already told you: I think they're bullshit. What more would you like to know?

I believe this may have been the first truly honest thing you have said in your entire time in this group!

Well, that and the tip about the Philips speakers! ;)
