I am yet to see evidence of Bono doing what is commonly known as "putting your money where your mouth is".

His big mouth appears on all the TV stations, telling us what he wants us to do over and over again... while his money is kept nice and safe in Switzerland or Holland.

If you actually donate to any of Bono's causes then I think you're being stupid. Donating money to charity is a type of investment in a type of business. As any decent businessman would tell you, you shouldn't invest in a business where the people who run the business aren't willing to invest their own capital.

The point being, if Bono doesn't think these causes are worthy of his own money then we certainly shouldn't think them worthy of ours.
