	I recall seeing Bono (of U2) broadcasted live from London, England
two years ago on t.v.  It was the Annual British Music Awards or
something like that.  Anyhow, Bono took the opportunity to rally for the
Crown to drop all expectation of payment and to pardon African nations
from the debts that they owe.  He basically explained why with everything
that you just said.  I thought that that was really decent of him.
