Live 8 (just one of the countless masses)

I'm sure all over the world, on web servers everywhere, posts on live 8 will be popping up. Some, at least 1 million around Philly, may not pop up until much later. Me, I'm at home, watching what's available on the music video channels.

My daughter is in the midst of the 1 million strong in Philadelphia. Having recently moved into the no-travel zone, she had easy access. I'm sure she'd be there anyway.

The One Campaign is not necissarily new to me. I've heard about it before and support the direct aid approach.
The one thing that impressed me, I'd have to say, Is that on the Live 8 and One websites, it was nearly impossible to find a link where you could actually donate. This give a lot of credence to the theme, we don't want your money, we want you name.

The message is clear concise and well presented.
The music, well that's the motivator to get people to listen.
Pray to God that they do.

So if you haven't gotten your name on the list, what are you waiting for.
