Bono is one of time's "persons of the year."

i was very excited to open my mailbox and have bono staring out at me!

along with bill and melinda gates, bono is time magazine's person of the year. good for him and his cause; the more press he gets, the more awareness the public has. bono's certainly no saint and lots of people dislike bill gates for simply being successful but it is so nice to see people really care about something and use their name, power, money, whatever to help the world.

yeah....it is nice when people like Bono, Sean Penn, Angelina Jolie use some of their fame and cash to do some good in the world instead of people like MC Hammer who just buy cars, houses and hos

I'd say freeing up $27million dollars in western government funds and aid saves a whole shitload of lives.

Well deserved in my book - to all three of 'em.
