How to dismantle world poverty



------------------------------------------------------------------------


Bono, the lead singer of the band U2, is famous throughout the 
entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous.   
 
At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for
total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands,
once every few seconds. 

Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone, 
"Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

Then a voice with a broad Scottish accent, from the front of the crowd,
pierces the quiet, "Well, foockin' stop doin' it then!"
