Great philanthropy at the 11th hour is still greed and rampant accumulation of wealth. Do the math. He will never "get rid of it" in his lifetime and so many people suffer because we are such greedy human beings.

the size of the transactions is so small it is not worth it for private business

That is soooo sad. These are *human beings* we're talking about, not objects.

I'd love to have a beer with Bill and talk about the future. He sure has the capital to affect real change.

Wonder if he'll be in the 2012 race for prez?
