Splash, it has been shown that as societies are improved and educated, the number of children they have go DOWN, not UP. The solution to overpopulation is to help and educate people.jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10683513169776386015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090699.post-40231687205853583942010-07-25T11:27:40.205-07:002010-07-25T11:27:40.205-07:00I think that what Mr. Gates and his wife are doing is a wonderful thing however, I do wonder why we tend to think that we have to look in a foreign country to find this kind of poverty and sickness? You can look anywhere in America and find the very same things. Maybe not on such a grand scale, but isn&#39;t a child still a child no matter where he lives? Don&#39;t get me wrong, I&#39;m not saying we shouldn&#39;t help people in other countries, I&#39;m just saying that maybe we&#39;re not looking in our own backyard because it&#39;s not news worthy enough.<br /> As for &quot;Splash&quot; I hope you don&#39;t have any children of your own because if one of them gets deathly ill or hit by a car, are you going to sit back and not fight for their life because that&#39;s just nature taking its&#39; course?<br /> One last comment to Mr. Gates; next time you have to sit on a board about saving kids lives, try showing on a BIG screen moving pictures of a child who is dying and then move on to pictures of the same child and his family after he&#39;s been cured. Few people are not moved by tears of joy and the love of a family who nearly lost a child. Great work, please don&#39;t stop.Lisa Dirkerhttp://www.healthandwealthmarket.moonfruit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090699.post-47678147163172698902007-07-07T01:21:00.000-07:002007-07-07T01:21:00.000-07:00@Splash: You seemed really serious to say those words. Anyway, I dont agree. I believe Gates will succeed in dealing with those things naturely.<BR/><BR/>I my oppinion, it is not always bad thing if we intervene in natural things. We can make it better. Of cause, it is up on how to do. I am sure that, Gates really cared for this arising problem. That's why he will step down and just focus on his job ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090699.post-40700877967787776402007-06-19T01:39:00.000-07:002007-06-19T01:39:00.000-07:00wow.. what an excellent perspective..mmacadamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05319865810193808108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090699.post-72110826082444297472007-06-18T15:36:00.000-07:002007-06-18T15:36:00.000-07:00Thank you Bill Gates.<BR/><BR/>Fantastic advice to the Harvard movers and shakers as well as anybody who wants to feel the positive change of doing good.JoeDuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12901043695395702119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090699.post-78130976628781542012007-06-17T05:58:00.000-07:002007-06-17T05:58:00.000-07:00Gates is missing it and it goes back to another saying. "Give a man a fish and he has one meal, teach a man to fish and he can feed for life." The problem with Gates feeding and fixing all those people is who then will feed all the additional people that they will then breed?? As cruel as it may sound; in the animal world, nature has a way of causing many animals to cut down on or stop breeding in times of drought and low food supply. Gates will only make the Aftican problem worse. The real problem both in Aftica and on this entire planet is there are just way too many people. You find a way to cut way back on people breeding and most all of the planets problems will then fix themselves.Splashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090699.post-27007838587209132982007-06-13T22:11:00.000-07:002007-06-13T22:11:00.000-07:00great read!Ravihttp://www.sethigherstandards.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090699.post-60201396325635804942007-06-13T08:08:00.000-07:002007-06-13T08:08:00.000-07:00Thanks J<BR/>Missed the read.Mukund Mohanhttp://www.bestengagingcommunities.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090699.post-11820642958782538542007-06-13T07:18:00.000-07:002007-06-13T07:18:00.000-07:00Brilliant, challenging, inspiring and motivating stuff.<BR/><BR/>Mark BownessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
