Live 8

Hoje, em 10 cidades do mundo, músicos e 3 mil milhões de espectadores juntam-se para pressionar os líderes dos 8 países mais ricos a tomarem as necessárias medidas para acabar com a pobreza no planeta.

Louvável objectivo. Do evento e seus organizadores, pura demagogia política.

Exemplo:

These concerts are the start point for The Long Walk To Justice, the one way we can all make our voices heard in unison.

This is without doubt a moment in history where ordinary people can grasp the chance to achieve something truly monumental and demand from the 8 world leaders at G8 an end to poverty.

The G8 leaders have it within their power to alter history. They will only have the will to do so if tens of thousands of people show them that enough is enough.

By doubling aid, fully cancelling debt, and delivering trade justice for Africa, the G8 could change the future for millions of men, women and children.

(Bob Geldof)

Gostava de me juntar ao movimento. Mas não a qualquer preço!
