Remember I've been doing the GMO thing since about 1995 so this is not really new. I first posted something about
Gates' involvement in Africa in 2004 (in the second footnote). The
AGRA Watch folks up in Seattle keep close tabs on Gates and at times are quite confrontational.

"news" was the wrong word, but i needed a title.
I can understand a lot.
If someone is poor, he does a lot to get rid of that.
He might do things not nice.
I can understand.
But if you got more than the son of your son of your son of your son ... can ever spend ...
i got more hard times.
I for one would probably do nothing at all. Else? Dunno. Have some fun.
But i guess they believe themselves in what they do.
They don't think "to hell with it", they think "what i do is good".
They lost something on the way, when they (thought they) had to struggle to "make it".
They are very good at telling you that it is all "in your best interest".
"Which good is it worth to do harm to your soul?"
Someone wrote that, in Latin, but there it is more nice or elegant
"Und hättest Du die ganze Welt gewonnen, welchen Nutzen hätte es, wenn Du an deiner Seele Schaden genommen hast".
The bible ain't that bad, sometimes ("it is all nothing, but a bit of dust in the wind").
As i do much computing i don't remember who said what (but it doesn't matter, as long it is valid).
Imho, from what i read above, Gates is a criminal in the worst meaning of the word (crime against humanity). And there are many like him. The West has lost direction, purpose, roots and what not.
The good news: cultures come and go. It has been like that, always, and it will be like that, again always.

Yup. That's pretty much it.
In the same line of thinking, here's a very
French take on Monsanto. Quite well done imo.

Per coincidence i ran into this at twitter:
http://aphyr.com/posts/275-meritocracy-is-short-sightedwhich is -slightly- related (imho, sure).
Let's assume it is not related: It is a good read anyway.
If someone says: "i work hard for my money"
i say: ok
(i don't believe it, but that is another subject).
But what they usually mean is:
"I work hard, hence i can do to others whatever i want, because i am in the most bad situation of all".
To that i don't say: ok.
Excuses.
