The constant charmer

A rock celebrity lobyying politicians around the globe to end poverty. That should be the job of the politicians, right? But today a rock star is much more effective in doing so because people listen to him more than they listen to their representatives. And, if you are a public servant, why would you care about a long term issue if in 4 years you're gonna be out of job? Problem is, complex problems with long term solutions are first level priorities for us. Democracy is changing. I vote for Bono.
