Just proves that being rich doesn't make you smart and it doesn't
take being wise to make one rich.

He's right, but for the wrong reasons. We - or most of the world -
can use cheap energy. We already have plenty of clean energy, it's
just not cheap. And if energy is more important than vaccines, into which
he's poured
billions, how about he gives upon inoculations and devote his
resources to Uranium?


It wasn't that long ago that Gates was criticized for Not giving away
money. Now he's being criticized for giving it away to the 'wrong'

Many years ago, F. Lee Bailey interviewed H.L. Hunt on PBS. Bailey asked the
"are you still beating your wife question:"

"Mr Hunt, one only has to visit the men of great wealth who have made this
country great with their business endeavors and made it even greater with
their charities. The Rockefellers, Fords, Carnegies, and more. Why is it
you've never seen fit to share your largess with those less fortunate?"

Hunt looked at Bailey as if Bailey had just eaten a bug. "I use my money to
give people something better than a pretty picture to look at in some
museum. I give 'em a job."

'Course Hunt was famous for bringing his lunch to work every day in a paper
bag. The same paper bag.
