Bill Gates and Warren E. Buffet

Bill and Warren are probably doing the right thing, but uniformed as I am about the impact their charity will have on world health and world education, it could be that some of our nation's needs could be addressed by these two American success stories. The veterans who return from Iraq with physical and mental problems, urban issues in our major cities, education for the disadvantaged, and many more not to hard to imagine benefiting from their foundation. If they set the standard for corporate giving, we may see more money leaving our shores withoutlooking back at the landscape in which it was produced. It's true that we probably lack the will to address our nation's problems as citizens and it is easier to select another nation or world health than choose amongst the competing needs stateside. Board of director's meetings without a national agenda might be more comfortable for the rich
to attend.
