Talking about yuppie groups. One thing that particularily annoyed me after September 11th, was when all the pop stars came together to collaborate on the song 'What's Going On?'. This song originally started out as some kind of tribute and fundraiser for the victims of September 11th. The other day, I was watching MTV and found out that they switched the tribute and fundraising to AIDS victims in Africa. I thought that was a misleading way to fundraise for money. And I wouldn't care so much, but just the fact that celebrities are throwing money at the AIDS problem in Africa and then not encouraging more moral behavior for the population in there is just so annoying. The AIDS problem in Africa is not going to stop if people do not become one partner for life people.

I thought that the AIDS tribute was how the album started out but then when America was attacked on September 11th, a WTC charity was chosen for the album as well (it was one of the first in the stores).

Yeah it didn't make a bit of sense to me to tie the two charities together either but then we've got "Food Not Bombs" protesting on behalf of the Gore recounts, PETA protesting against the war, etc.. Whatever makes the participants "feel" better just so they'll come on-board the socialists' agenda.
