Seen on Stossel just now: some superstars aren't "useful idiots" for communism

Miracles can be "miraculous:" or quite quotidian and comprehensible. Love is a miracle, a wonderfully mysterious one. Now for the other kind:

 ‘Aid is just a stopgap. Commerce [and] entrepreneurial capitalism take more people out of poverty than aid’ -- Bono.

I wasn't necessarily revolted by the 1984 "Band-Aid" concert in which Bono and friends sang "Do They Know it's Christmas?/Feed the World" and split a gut getting people to pony up to bless starving children in Africa.  But I was disgusted, because even then in my pre-enlightenment state the spectacle stank of decadence and phoniness. Since then he's become the king of do-good, an insufferably self-satisfied, inescapable god of leftism. And he of course is merely the pinnacle, the depths of the rock industry and its noble plans to make everybody more... leftist. Bono goes sane? He says he can't believe what he's saying himself. Thank God for it!

On his Fox TV program tonight, John Stossel also said that film diva Angelina Jolie is also seeing the point of capitalism over giveaways. I wasn't able to find anything excitingly specific on it; the closest thing seems to be that the strange-looking filly is investing in Dubai and maybe egging others on to. Jolie, the galaxy's most-worshipped woman, also leads one of the most amazingly confused, messed-up lives anybody is today.
