Think what you want of Bill and his company, but he and his wife are doing a LOT to try and help the less-fortunate

I was not critisising Bills generosity which I actually applaud. My comments were more along the lines of we need to come up with a coherent programme to help the world. I don't see that happening. Doing one thing in isolation only causes other problems down the way. Now if only we spent the $200B+ due for the war on doing something +ve.

I knew you weren't criticising him, the commentary at the end of my post was directed in general to those people who DO criticise him and can't separate the man from the company he owns

Bill seems to have good intentions, but im still not sure if there is anything to this exept for the fact that bill just wants to be cool with the public. lol www.rotten.com has a mugshot of bill when he was arrested way back in the day. what a nerd.lol
