Bono on Poverty

"Once you see not only the problem, but the solution, there's no escape. You see it, you can't look away from it. I want it to feel like an adventure, not a burden. I don't mean just for me, I mean for the movement. This is an extraordinary thing, an uplifting thing. This is not, 'Oh my God, all the poor starving Africans with flies around their faces.' They are very noble, royal people, full of easy laughter and very innovative. This is about us, too. It's about who are we? What are our values? Do we have any? It's exciting."

- Bono ­ Interview with Rolling Stone, November 2005

Hi Dana. Thanks for commenting. It is nice to know that someone is out there. Actually, I'm not all that surprised by the lack of response because I haven't told many people about my blog. One of the comments I deleted was my own, and the other was a bit of a commercial. I am having fun blogging though. Go Buckeyes!
