Last night I saw a news piece on Mr. Gates that really gave me some admiration for him. They were naming him and his wife people of the year for giving away more money faster than anyone ever has. He has given away almost 1/3 of his wealth and if I’m not mistaken, has plans to give it all away. He’s having a tremendous impact in third world countries and in funding scientific research. It brought a tear to my eye. Much as I dislike Microsoft and love Apple, Bill Gates is doing quite a wonderful thing. He’s an extremely wealthy man, but his corporation is even more wealthy. Most large corporations are. Just imagine if Mr. Gates and other CEOs made it a priority for their companies to give back a little. Say just 10% of their profits. Imagine the positive change that would make in the world. It would be awesome.

Hooray for Bill Gates. He certainly can afford it.
Now get real political and tell us your solution in Iraq.
Would you be willing to put YOUR life on the line in Iraq?
I did in Viet Nam, and learned enough there that I would NEVER put my life on the line today in Iraq. If I don’t see the cause a good enough one for me to die for, then I certainly cann’t ask my fellow defenders of American freedoms to either. Let’s get them home before any more have to die.
