I just hope Bono has done his research on agriculture. Genetically modified seeds and pesticide don't create more food. These chemicals kill off the microorganisms in the soil which make plants grow. Agricultural scientists that aren't being paid by multi-national corporations will tell you how devastating the effects of GMO's are to existing plants. If you don't believe this - ask the cotton farmers in India.

Bono Paul Hewson wants to hide it from the taxman. He doesn't pay Irish taxes. He practices "tax avoidance" and puts his money in offshore accounts where he doesn't have to pay taxes.

The world media and press commented on Bono becoming a billionaire as a result of Facebook registering on the stock exchange. Why does he want to hide it? Would it not be a great oppportunity for Bono to put his money where his mouth is?
