Unfortunately, too often he's done this humanitarian stuff the same exact way he's done his first programming projects - in a most mediocre fashion.
Case in point: a few years ago when the B&M Gates Foundation donated free houses to crack mammas (that is, women with at least one child who was still using crack big-time).
Of course, then the city just ends up with more CRACK HOUSES!!!! Also, some of those funds have been donated to ongoing scams....so how much good he is really doing up to this point can still be debated.
And please, don't refer to that simian boy king (Bush, Geo. W.) as an administration - it is simply the largest crime cartel in American, if not the world's, history....
Listen, I don't mean to be critical of invalids, but the really brilliant physicists of our time are: Roger Penrose, David Deutsch, that Portuguese physicist at Cambridge University (I forget his name --- it's godawful long) studying the inconstancy of Light (and popes), and perhaps Fredkin at MIT (if he's still there), but this Hawking dude is really somewhat mediocre --- I realize that goes against the PopCultureMedia grain --- but then they are the same clowns who've given us the fictionalized G. Gordon Liddy and H. Ross Perot.....
No doubt this was a rhetorical question on your part --- and you actually know that the Internet/WWW is the last bastion of people's freedom of information left, as everything here and abroad is being privatized (which in the USA means no more freedom-of-information requests under the FOA laws).
Not to mention the extraordinary concentration of the media in the hands of primarily a small number of corporations - both nationally in the USA and and the global level as well. Being able to write the script makes things much, much easier for the plutocrat and corporate elites. Imagine - without the Internet being open - would 50% of the adult American population not accept the official version of 9/11/01???
Well said --- there's a professor at the University of Illinois (I believe, I can't recall his name)who has doctorates in Climatology, Oceanography and Engineering, which is probably the necessary background one requires to fully comprehend the multi-faceted components and variables of global warming. He has a video out somewhere in which he very lucidly and cogently (simplifies for we lay people) the probable causes and effects of global warming.
Welcome to the New World Corporation - where fascism, now touted as the New World Capitalism - rules supreme. At this point in time, I'm not EVEN going to bother arguing the actual economics of this poster's brand of pseudo-capitalism, it's simply better to suggest they actually read a book!
And while they enter their new pursuit of reading - perhaps they might review what is awaiting others who have little to no options left.
Exactomundo, good person - this Tom fellow seems to appear at more than a few symposiums always attended by members of the Carlyle Group - need I say more?????
Not to be repetitive, but please check out this VA Watchdog article to get the REAL scoop on this stuff.
Please, and forever more, always ask the next question.
This is the crucial aspect to analytical thinking: always ask the next question - understand the existence of cause and effect, but - never assume something that follows something else IS ALWAYS the effect (Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.).
Example: when those Spanish-language radio stations organized the national protest marches (while that NSA illegal spying was in the news), one should ask: Who owns those Spanish-language radio stations????
I would direct your attention to this article at the VA Watchdog site.
For anyone to EVEN consider that anything that happens within the Bush Administration is not greed/power driven is to be completely beyond belief - unless you've been on the orbiting space station or trekking the Andes over the past 6 years.
In case you haven't been paying attention lately, no one in the government appears to be concerned with the US Constitution (excepting Senator Russ Feingold and Senator Byrd, of course).
When I was in my senior year of high school (actually prep school, but it was on an academic scholarship for the scholastically superior-economically disadvantaged), I pondered whether I would be alive a year hence as the draft was in effect at that time.
While I thankfully survived my time in the military, I never thought I would live to observe:
That most phony case against Scott Ritter brought by the FBI, using faked internet emails, that was quickly thrown out of court with a stern rebuke by the judge.
Although once upon a time, the FBI agents involved would have be justifiably jailed.
Negative. The court found the two Enron people (although a considerably larger number should have also been on trial), guilty of conspiracy, among other counts.
Conspiracy, not sabotage, was responsible for those phony rolling blackouts.
I hate to toss in a major dose of REALITY, but didn't anyone happen to follow that Enron trial recently????
Seems that some of those power plant operators PURPOSELY brought down their power plants instigating rolling blackouts throughout California, not only causing untold damages, extreme loss of manhours, but actually resulted in the deaths of citizens (accidents due to traffic light outages, backup systems not working in some hospitals, home dialysis machine stoppages, etc., etc.).
Appears to this average fellow that these types terrorist acts have been taking place all along in this country without the help of "al Qaeda" or Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy.....
Unfortunately, far too often among some of the (ahem) posters, the obvious must be belabored again and again....
Coincidence is when I happen to know someone I attended school with --- Conspiracy is when there exists a financial relationship and the exchange of money between the two of us --- and when that happens again and again, this we call concrete connections.
Why no, those others who may have also been thinking (although not the type of thoughts normally healthy individuals think) decided to pay $54 million to the Taliban on March 2001 and agree to withdraw all the American troops from Saudi Arabia (Mission Accomplished!!) and those cutouts were sent (19 Islamic would-be terrorists) to make things appear copesetic.
Fortunately, others of us also happen to think from time to time, and even deduce the obvious --- simply check who benefited from 9/11/01 (simple criminal investigation), and check what connections there may have been among some of the passengers and certain government agencies and defense contractors and defense projects in the past.....
["Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered..." Thomas Paine]
Gee whiz and jeepers!!! Let me think now....would it be those guys who have made billions off of 9/11/01???
Let's see now, the Bush family, the Cheney family, the bin Laden family, several extraordinarily large private equity firms who owned the WTC and also gained considerably from currency arbitrage resulting from those attacks....Hmmm....have I left anybody out????
Hey! I'm not afraid of those Homeland Security guys and whatever cyberterrorism they have planned.
After all, they Millennium Mall Police (in Florida) have busted some for public indecency; the Florida State Police have busted some of them for attempted child molestation, and the Target Police (in D.C. and Maryland) have busted some of them for shoplifting.
As long as we have those police forces, we're all safe.....
When was the last time a major newspaper did real investingation?
The reasons for that should be obvious by now:
1968: over 100 corporations owned all the mainstream media in the USA.
1983: 50 corporations owned all the mainstream media in the USA.
2006: Only 5 corporations own all the mainstream media in the USA. Incidentally, the same number that own ALL the global media (although different multinationals at that level).
Surely, many of us can save NSA the trouble --- in case they are REALLY interested and ever read/. --- the calls originated from Afghanistan, went to the Blackstone Group's office in Mumbai, then several days later calls that originated with the Carlyle Group went to Washington, D.C., where calls from those offices ended up going to the VP's office. This would be after that $54 million was sent by the American government in March of 2001 along with the promise to pull American troops out of Saudi Arabia --- both of which happened to anyone who bothers to keep up with current events.
Your friend must not have traveled the countryside much, but stayed in the urbanized areas. China has significantly bad, bad pollution. Many areas are so polluted they are pretty much past the point of redemption.
Although 2012 to 2018 they probably will attack the US as they'll have such an imbalance of males in their population due to their many years of female infanticide. But who cares --- they'll attack us with the technology this government and ruling corporations have given them.
Geez...you've completely missed the point - outside of the knowledge context, one cannot make any valid and intelligent judgments.
It ain't politics when a group takes over a government by stealing at the very least two elections, the data on the Florida election is by now self-explanatory, while half the Ohio state elections board is under indictment.
Duuuuuhhhh.....when they have rolled back workers' rights, human rights, women's rights, labor union rights, we's truly and totally screwed. They will continue to dissolve the socioeconomic middle-class until there is absolutely nothing left. This is called neofeudalism.
Either you one of them are you are hopelessly clueless.....

they people the chips
Sorry, I couldn't resist that one...
When I was in my senior year of high school (actually prep school, but it was on an academic scholarship for the scholastically superior-economically disadvantaged), I pondered whether I would be alive a year hence as the draft was in effect at that time.
While I thankfully survived my time in the military, I never thought I would live to observe:
Phase I: Flight 800
Phase II: 9/11/01 orchestrated attacks
Phase III: The chipping of America
Which is really the end result THEY hope to achieve.
