And there is no better blogger to help people see the scope of this issue than Bono. I am always heartened to see Bono and others referring to the resilience of the world's poor. They struggle, day in and day out, just to provide for the simplest of needs for themselves & their families oftentimes well out of the sight of the rest of the world. But there are those of us who hear their sighs and their cries for help & that is why we are all here AS ONE on their behalf. And in our movement, there is no room for rock stars or celebrities because before the suffering of the world's poor, we are all humbled and we are all the same. Hand in hand, we will form a line of resistance to the apathy and the indifference of a world bent on fulfilling its own desires - oftentimes at the expense of the world's poorest people. THANK YOU, BONO and Prof. Jeffrey Sachs for being beacons of light that have led us to this point in our movement. Please continue to lead us in the direction of Light and Love, Truth and Rights, in our "journey of equality".
