Definitely well-said! I just have to laugh at these "Anti-capitalism" groups, they just don't seem to have a clue about much! There won't be any U2 boycotting going on in my home.

Well said, Michael! Mr. Charlie Pissant just wants some extra publicity for his

organization. They obviously don't know a thing about U2.

U2 is Ireland's biggest export, thus contributing mightily to the economy in

both commerce and employment. Ireland's collapse came from investors and bankers

running up property values and over building, not from U2 moving it's corporate

headquarters. And after all, no mention of how much each member of the band and

everyone employed by the band is paying in personal income taxes. Safe to assume

that they are making a substantial contribution on many levels. Finally, it's

ironic that Art Uncut is an "anti-capitalism" organization. If not for the

capitalist ventures of U2, there would be no income, no profit and subsequently

no taxes to argue over. What are they protesting?
