Gates is probably the least evil person I can think of. The truly decrepit evil lies in the halls of our government now.

  Even if you forgive him drugging his wife, which you shouldn't, he's not exactly a good person. Read through the antitrust stuff that happened in the 90's. He's not a good guy. I know he puts on this persona of "geeky nice guy", and I'll admit that I fell for it too long, but he's a multi billionaire, and like other multi billionaires he is not a good person. If he is the "least evil person you can think of", then you're not thinking very hard.

    Oddly specific to call out multi billionaires. So a single billion is fine? The threshold is at 2?

      I'm not going to blame a fellow pedant for being pedantic :) You could probably amend this to "billionaires", instead of the qualifying "multi billionaires". ETA: You know, I was thinking, just because I qualified it with "multi" in front doesn't really imply that single-billionaires aren't evil. I didn't specify that serial killers are evil either, but I don't think me not specifying that implies that I think they're fine.

  You must know a lot of shitty people or just aggressively bought into his not-so-recent PR switch. Maybe both.
