Scratch that-- I had read something that said he didn't believe in charity... but he really just doesn't believe in aspects of it, or rather believes that capitalistic ventures are more beneficial.

It's not like Gates is just handing out 5$ bills and saying "Go get yourself some meth!"

Charity involves research on where your dollars are going as well as the giving. At Gates's level, it involves program creation, not just handing out cash.

I'm a big fan of Bill... not as big a fan of the general lack of a way to show sarcasm on the Internet.
