                        Hi you all !

        Well ! We both have very different theorums ! Achtung Patrick ! I
was very good in reasoning at school ! ;-) Because, starting from the same
kind of Bono's quotes than Patrick, i lead to another conclusion : as
MacPhisto AND The Fly are both parts of Bono, Mac Phisto = Bono and The Fly
= Bono (both in part). Maybe it's the french way seeing things ;-D Because,
what in these quotes by Bono shows Mac Phisto = Anti-Bono ? On the contrary,
i think Mac Phisto = Bono (in part) as Bono says in the quotes i sent to
Patrick in private. Bono said in them Mac Phisto is himself in part. How
can you have the person and the anti-person in the same body/mind ? Maybe
someone here is able to explain it to me, because Patrick still doesn't do
it. And it's why i still disagree.

        PS : sorry to annoy wirelings with this but i warned Patrick i'll
reply on wire only if he sent a message about it on wire first. So, he's
guilty !

  PPS: i don't know Duke Dukem, i suppose it an US character, so i can't
answer to his last question. Sorry, we're not here so much invaded by US
culture ;-)))

        For those who are interested here is the part of the article i've
sent to him in private (it can interest everybody):

>From Les "Inrockuptibles" February 19 to 25, 1997.
        Title of the article : Bono like never
        Part of this article about Bono's characters :
It's in parts about ZOOTV : Bono is speaking :
    "It is for that that I exhibit on scene all these various characters,
diverting, who lived with
the interior of myself: the megalomaniac, the poet, Mister-all-the-world,
the fan, but also the
hooligan, the pop-star, the priest..... In truth, one put fire not at
ourselves, but at our ghosts or
our devils... This is the idea of Oscar Wilde : the mask which reveals the man."

        In the name of love
