Rock Star "Bono": A Hypocrite

**nsrus** · Tuesday, June 10th, 2003

ROCK star Bono urged the world's media yesterday to join him in the fight against Aids and Third World debt.
The U2 singer said he was uncomfortable with the image of the rock star cradling the African child begging for his life.
Pointing out that 7,000 people die every day in Africa through lack of medicine he said he regarded these as issues of justice rather than charity.

This drug culture advocate has a personal fortune of 200 million,the rights from his existing recordings would keep him in cocaine for the rest of his life.First he should put his own money where his big mouth is before he asks for anyone elses.As to justice ? what does black africa know of justice ? what about the pygmies bono's mates are eating are they not entitled to "justice"

"If the spirit makes me slap my right thigh, I can work a cure. If it is the left thigh, he is incurable," the 49-year-old priest says.

As he speaks, he runs a cheese grater across a human skull to create a powder, which he puts into an elixir for the patient to drink. The red-and-black coffin is supposed to help weaken the evil spirit.

With an estimated 5.2 percent of its 8.2 million people infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, Haiti has one of the highest rates of infection in the Caribbean. Like the country's mainstream medical community, Haiti's voodoo priests have had to turn their attention and efforts to treating the disease.

...A consultation costs about $6.30, while a complete AIDS treatment can cost up to $4,000.
