>I was just wondering what is going to happen to all the money raised by Live8. It seems most of the millions, if not billions, that have been raised to fight aids, poverty, etc in Africa has been stolen by the dictators of the countries we are supposed to be helping. Anyone know what the plan is to ensure this doesn't happen?
These events are put on so that the promoters of these things can feel good about themselves. It's a touch and feely thing with no real result.
What happened to all the money from Afica Aid concert from 20 years ago? Africa has the same problem now as it did then. It does nothing but put money in the hands of dictator and thugs.
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
