Anonymous Philanthropist writes " Warren Buffet , the world's second-richest man, announced over the weekend that he will soon donate 85% of his entire net worth, weighing in at around $37 Billion, to charities, with over 80% of it going to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This makes it the single largest monetary donation in history."

There is far more than AIDS in this world. I hope they spread it around... I suffer from Psoriasis, i never hear anyone giving a dam about it.

All i hear is "aids" "cancer" or "Diabetes"

Aids is like a buzz word for charity. Bono and Gates, their morons. There's more than AIDS in this world and yet its all they talk about. Thanks for nothing rich charitable self important morons.
