Hmm... OK Ive heard lots of comments about this... and it seems to me its
fairly obvious that bill has soo much money that 500M is chump change to him,
and he has donated money to various places (such as public libraries, ..),
but its pretty unclear how much bill has donated... Ive never considered bill
altruistic by any measure. Even if he donated 500M (which I beliieve is much
more than he's donated to worthy causes), he could easily spend a lot more as
tax write-offs (basicly he could donate money instead of paying it to
taxes...) So... How is this guy altruistic? how much has bill "helped others"
?
Bill is not insane because he wants more money... he's insane because he's
such an egotstic controll freak.
