Lefty vs. Lefty

I actually don't know much about The Edge's politics, although I'm guessing 15 seconds of Googling would show him to be a lefty like his buddy Bono.  I'll spare myself the 15 seconds of labor and surmise that his close association with Bono and the plans of greenishness he has for his proposed home in Malibu put him squarely in the leftist camp, which would make this story quite ironic...

A member of U2 gets opposed by a group who doesn't think his plans are leftish enough... that's great.  It reminds me of a story from a couple years ago on some island where some endangered species was eating up another endangered species and the authorities couldn't do anything to reasonably balance the populations because they couldn't shoot even a few of the predator species.

Why does The Edge want to live in Malibu?  That was my first question before I ever got into the article.  Shouldn't he be living in a hut in Mombandishuraqistan writing letters to world bankers imploring them to do something (ex. raise taxes on American gun owners) for the sake of the poor starving children there whose legs have been blown off by land mines?

Oh, yeah, I forgot... the People's Republic of California is more communist than Kruschev... the perfect place for U2 members to relax in their hot tubs...

This mom should be fired

How can some of the commenters on this story feel sorry for the mother of the child who is getting beaten up every day on the bus?  It's pretty simple... if animals attack your child constantly, don't keep throwing the child into the animals' pen:

As the bus pulls away we follow it.  Watching and waiting to see what happens.  Back at home the girl’s mother is fighting back tears she says she can’t believe her daughter has to go through this every day.

 

Edwards adds, “She continues to get hurt.  Why? That hurts as a parent”.

I bet it hurts!  But you just keep letting it happen?????
