a cool quote;

"The Giving Pledge was born in part from a dislike by Mr. Buffett for dynastic wealth. Mr. Buffett over the years has schooled Mr. Gates on philanthropy, giving him a copy of "The Gospel of Wealth," in which steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie argued that fortunes were often wasted by heirs and thus should be put to charitable use. "

need more guys that think like that

amen to that....i would just like to see the money be put to good use. the reason i don't like the idea of "heirs" is that i believe stongly in NILF. Nothing in Life is Free.

money and assistance should be given to those who work for it but because of various circumstances are not reaping the fair rewrds for their work.
