Bono's politics don't bother me, but the hypocrisy of something like that definitely does.

You do bring up a good point and it is believe it or not something I had considered. But the article points to lots of economic disparity in Ireland too, what of that?

I am a big believer that the ends justify the means and this is certainly not to criticize Bono, who so far as I can tell has done more for the situation than almost anyone else... just an interesting look at how the rules can be manipulated as it were.
