I don't know why I get the feeling that all that money, won't help improve the world one bit.

But hey, we're gonna get Windows Vista

Not all of us are idiots.

You can keep Vista, I'll take the AIDs research grants from the Gates foundation over an OS.

i really hate the attitude that contributing doesnt help. sure donating a single dollar doesnt help, but a million people doing it does. to quote mother Teresa

"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."
