Read all about it This story was written to talk about how eBay had to end the auctions of Live 8 tickets--given away originally for free--due to hoax bids of up to 10 million pounds. What it's really about is a man, Bob Geldof, who's family has been totally destroyed by family courts. Courts where the government all the cards and you are but a recipient of the slap of its heavy hand, should it so decide... But he is more than willing to keep a strong government presence in the lives of everyone else, as long as that big government is run liberally, as he has so decided. What a fool you are Geldof, what a fool you are.
