Allow me to politely disagree with some of the statements. While I realize it's largely a matter of which glasses you've put on, I just can't easily agree with statements which sound like an excerpt from Bill Gates' annual letter. healthier - I definitely disagree. I can provide a lot of statistics about why I think it is so, but unfortunately I can't provide statistics about what I see happening around me. And sometimes it's scary. better educated - Disagree. I think there are huge problems with the education system and it's only baby steps that are taken to improve something. better fed - With what? So... I agree with "kolev" that these 1% could eventually put their money to better use. Maybe some of them are doing it.
