Most of the money has gone to prevent AIDS and eradicate polio."Your friends Xbox problem sounds a bit trivial to me and certainly not relating to peace, disarmament or development.Gates is a force for good in this world, wish there'd be more Bill Gates'es Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Wolfe Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Mr. Gates and his kind are examples of a new generation of ultra rich. In past years the weatlth giants were self-indulgent but today they are not content to sit on their wealth and "play". I salute Mr. Gates for his efforts to make this a better place in which to live for those less fortunate.RegardsBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a prize for "peace, disarmament and development" named after Indira Gandhi? I wonder what the insignia could be. Brass collar, perhaps?
