...ar just a hypocrite?  You be the judge!

Bono has been reluctant to explain the tax strategy, but the band's guitarist The Edge has admitted: 'Of course we want to be tax-efficient – who doesn't?'

Spread the word!

I think he's a one-worlder who suffers from a messianic complex. But maybe not. He's a tough one to peg. He gets involved with causes but seems to keep politics on the sidelines.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I will vote for the "hypocrite" choice. You don't need to guess about the politics of a conservative.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Yup, I'd have to go along with that!

Still, I gotta find a big-lettered T that says TAXES SUCK when I go the the concert.
