Are you saying that if you were a multi-millionaire pop star who avoided 
paying income taxes his entire life and had legions of people who hung 
on his every word and action you feel you would not have accomplished 
appreciably more than Bono has in the same circumstances with regards to 
furthering humanitarian causes? Or are you saying that if Bono were an 
Indian computer programmer(?) he would have had a greater impact in the 
humanitarian field than you have?
That seems a strange position to take but maybe I misunderstand.
