Exactly. Gates is confusing information with education. If classroom education could be replaced by non-traditional means; books and VCRs would have done that years ago.
Mr Gates is not confusing anything. Mr Gates is a proponent of education in all areas of the world, including areas that make less than what some community colleges make in profit. You're confusing your ability to attend grad school with the inability for people to receive _any_ education in developing nations.
The science of all this is pretty settled by now. If you don't accept it, that's your problem.
Except when the global community is subject to the will of the dominant majority; there is no protection for minority opinion in this regard. The minority didn't do ALL of this man-made damage yet the minority are willing to admit the faults of the global community. If the majority is not sensitive and unwilling to understand, both the minority and the majority have a problem representative of could-be, future change.
