Comment Bill Gates isn't all that bad, ya know? (Score 1) 356
I used to hate Bill Gates. Then one day I realised Gates had "grown up". He's still a businessman, but he's using his business "prowess" to increase his ability to help people in Africa with his vaccination programme. Which is why he set up his charity with family, and uses investment in businesses like Monsanto to offset his expenditures (and who's not to say to direct the firm away from GM crops?)
Whether my "naive" optimist side is coming out or not remains to be seen. Either way, what Gates is doing for Africa fits this model perfectly, you'd have to say.
