The world is reflecting on world poverty at Live Aid concerts this weekend. Who's doing it?
				Bob Geldof - Nice suit Bob. Except for the I don't like Mondays song, can anyone name another song that this guy has done? Bob you are just another Lear Jet Liberal, and your 15 minutes are up.
				In London, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, whose philanthropy has made him one of the chief sources for anti-poverty interventions in Africa today, joined the rock stars on stage and reminded the crowd that the end of poverty is an attainable goal. "We can do this, and when we do, it will be the best thing that humanity has ever done," he said. The second best thing humanity will ever do is switch to Linux
				In Philadelphia, actor Will Smith led 300,000 in the audience in the Make Poverty History campaign's symbolic "click" -- snapping their fingers each three seconds to symbolize the death of another African child from preventable diseases of poverty such as diarrhea caused by unclean water. In addition to snaping his fingers to make water cleaner, he's working on his next big picture, I Idiot.
				With a crowd of about 8,000, Johannesburg's was the smallest of the 10 Live 8 concerts, In fact, Johannesburg wasn't even on the original bill. It was added hastily 10 days ago after organizers took a number of pointed questions about the fact there was no African gig on their lineup of concerts for Africa. The undisputed highlight of the Jo'burg show was an appearance, broadcast globally, of former president Nelson Mandela, 87  Says Nelly.."However, as long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest," Mr. Mandela said, before exhorting the crowd to be "a great generation" and end them. I guess Mandela should have ended hunger in South Africa before he kicked all of the white Dutch farmers off of the farms they had worked for 3 generations.
