The Point Of Live 8 : Bring Awareness Regarding The Devastation Blighting Africa
The point of Live 8 and the many artists that lent their talents and their efforts to this cause was to bring an awareness that a solution could be found to the devastation that hunger, war, blight and disease was causing on the continent of Africa specifically and the world generally as these problems decimate a population of a whole continent each day.
Many artists such as Sir Bob Geldolf, U2's Bono, Peter Gabriel, Dave Matthews, Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour , RUSH's Geddy Lee and Lenny Kravitz, just to name a few artists who seriously want a solution regarding this situation, truly and deeply view this problem as critical for the survival of a population that does not have an efficient distribution network and the means that could provide nourishment, medicine and knowledge to those affected. It is not so much to have the monies , the supplies , the knowledge to fight this problem. It is more a question of how to find a solution that would affect the greatest number of people in the most efficient means. The eight leaders of the economies with the biggest GNP's know that it is in their own interest as well as the interest of the peoples of the African continent to raise awareness of the problem that exists there and to one day completely eradicate hunger and disease form the conitinent with deeds rather than giving the problem " lip service" just because it seems right by those who could make a difference. 👆 🤘 🧑⚕️ 😇 📖 😖mart: ✅
Live8 was certainly well meaning but unfortunately it appears to have made no impact whatsoever. Does anyone actually know the outcome of the G8 meeting? And it was sickening to read that live8 guests (including wastes of space like david and victoria beckham) got gift bags to the value of 1800 quid. Make poverty history?
