This reminds me of Gerald Ford's campaign against inflation - they passed out buttons that said "WIN", Whip Inflation Now.

Was Lim Bizkit there?

Remove poverty world-wide?

The global population explosion is mostly due to "free food" (and medical supplies) being provided to people who couldn't otherwise produce it. This resulted in an increase in population, only to find that the "free food" (and medical supplies) runs out, and needs to be replenished. Again, and again, and again, and again, and...

The problem is, the 3rd-world can't produce this stuff in sufficient quantity without outside help. Vicious Cycle.

My understanding is that the idea was that many nations are spending more on paying back IMF/World Bank loans than they are spending on food and education, and this is an effort to get some of those debts relieved. Also, an effort to end hunger, help refugees, save the environment and secure human rights, through private sector voluntarism.

Such insidious EVIL! Bono is the Anti-Christ! Wyclef Jean is a global totalitarian! David Bowie wants to cause a panic in Detroit!

Get real.

Sounds like a reincantation of Hands Across America, "We Are The World, We Are The Children", Farm Aid, etc.

If they held a Y2k event such as this, it would be interesting to see who would attend and what groups would be playing. Pat Boone? Devo? ZZ Top? Pink Floyd?

Tim,

Definitely Devo and REM

Would Space Trash be there?

He is setting it up so "they" can't ask us for help when all "their" people are dying from starvation due to Y2K and possibly the solar flare damages. (I think.) No arrive as terrorists seeking revenge.

It had said in the Naval War College material the USA has to tread carefully to avoid the "You set us up murderers!" There has to be this carefully designed mask of "America the so kind, generous, and charitable" before Y2K hits.

Name me one Jerry Lewis Telethon that cured Muscular Dystrophy.

Name me one Walk-a-thon that cured anything.

Name me one dime that went to the March of Dimes that cured birth defects.

Name me one financial donation that brought the "Lords" second coming.

Name me one concert that stopped anything..violence? AIDS? Starving farmers? The only thing that these agencies do is to keep the overhead payroll high and people employed.
