    Anyone see Bill Gates last night - humbling

    BBC One - The Richard Dimbleby Lecture, Bill Gates: The Impatient Optimist

    A blind woman on Twitter commented that she switched her TV to it by chance and spent a few confused moments wondering why Kermit the Frog was making a speech.

      It was very good. Interesting to see the philanthropic man in action. I have no doubt he will succeed in wiping out Polio. Of course he's also causing a continuing problem in over population and disease by its nature is designed to help curb population.

      But whatever makes him feel warm and fuzzy. Frankly I'd have used my money to make myself a Bond Supervillian.

          WTF is that? You stand that side of the mainline railway line and I'll stand this side and we can only do it on the line when no trains are coming?
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            Humility is clearly not a blessing that is given to everyone; especially here.
            Job motivation: how the powerful steal from the stupid.

              Why is humility important in someone spending their cash to make other people better off?

                Not sure where you got humility from, except for a desperate urge to attack Bill Gates
