...but we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the money wouldn't hurt. So why not do both, and employ the means to accomplish each cause at every turn?
Saint Bob... PLEASE. He's really doing a half-assed job with making this thing as efficient and effective as possible. If talk wasn't so cheap and was so effective, I think Saint Bono (BARF) could've convinced the G8 by himself to do his biddings. So yeah, please talk away... and then send some euros to the starving African children as well.
