and former)and the Dalai Lama
3 helped convince the world monetary fund to write off the
financial debt of most of Africa
4 been given an honorary knighthood by the queen of England
5 been included in Time Magazines “worlds most influential
people” issue several times……U2′s Bono; should at least be on the list if not at the top!!!
Celebrities ? yes. Powerful-could be. Bono definitely is a BIG oversight. ALL of the above w/the exception of Kobe could EARN the title of “Powerful” if they’d turn their attention to the poor and depraved kids in the USA and stopped sending/spending their millions on others from foreign countries. Do what we “commoners” do- just Think global and ACT local. Especially with this current economy with a lot of parents out of work, like me.
