Watching this today, Jan 27 - 09 - making me relize that if we work together, and use collective globally tools like You Tube, our generation can achieve the greatness of our our teachers.

More interesting than the people who are on the stage are the people who are NOT on the stage. And the promises they have failed to keep...another big disappointment. But that's how life is supposed to be, right?

[josemanuelsalgado]

True

[saulpaulus]

There is nothing wrong with world leaders like Bono, Brown, and Gates calling for change and promoting development. Ultimately though, We, the People have to make it happen. That is what my idea "One World, One Community" is about. Check it out.

As always, a typical example of a "do as I say but do not do like me" policy.

Bono need re-read his discurse

[georgituber]

well his discourse have always been totally pro-capitalist. type of solve problems of capitalism with more capitalism. He is even worse than Brown/Bush/Gates type of ppl, cuz her pretends to "represent" people, while he represents only his wallet and ego.

Everybody, why the big private jets and the sponsered Q8's in 2007 that were polluting Davos and creating traffic jams when you only had to walk between conference centres and hotels?? If you really cared about the worlkd then you would start by showing?

Same reason that you yourself used your computer, which uses energy and contributes to C02 emissions, so you could post a comment about other people using energy which contributes towards C02 emissions, when you could have switched off your computer. I take your point, but it's not that simple.

[BlipSkip]

Exactly. Let us not blame each other, that's just slowing down the process of reaching some very crucial decisions together!
