LIVE8 a good idea or not? (please delete this)

Right I have read and heard a lot of people saying live8 is stupid. They believe that Bob Geldof does all this for himself and that he is not thinking about the people in Africa. They don’t believe he is honest with the way the money is being divided.

Now this is most definitely not how I feel. I think its great and the people that think that are idiots because he is trying to do as much as he can to draw as much attention on Africa because of all its problems and the people that die every 3 seconds. I understand that the tsunami was huge but that was an extraordinary occurrence and alot of money was going there even after countries had given millions if not billions to the cause all there problems can be helped with money for example building buildings and giving them boats to fish. But in Africa people need medicine and to be allowed to live in the countries that the tsunami hit they are not suffering from diseases such as aid's and HIV that Africa are in the huge numbers.

People have been saying about the way Bob just put the concerts there and doesn't care about the policing and if people get hurt. In my opinion why does it matter if you get hurt like if you fall to the ground why should Bob take responsibility for this its not his job. If you fall to the ground you will not die from Aids or have to live in the conditions that the people in Africa have to. You should have your own cop on to be careful and I am sure by the looks of the crowd there is no chance of anything happening because they seem pretty relaxed. I am sure though anyone that does mess will be dealt with. I have been to many other concerts and nothing happened at them when I was expecting a lot to happen. I doubt anything will happen at these.

People who don’t see the advantages of debt relief are blind. I understand there ahs to be conditions and I agree there has to be conditions but as I saw the African continent has paid back what they owe and then some but they are still paying back interest. Why should we allow this? We are the ones putting them into debt. They have paid us back but we still expect more even though we exploit them as well. What do people want? I honestly don’t believe you can satisfy everyone even on such a necessity.


Well anyway to my question under the reasons I have stated and maybe some of your own 'Do you believe do you LIVE8 is a good idea?'
Maybe explain a bit about why as well.

I actually thought Bob Geldof was dead. No, really. This is a bit embarrassing.
