While Bill is high profile, I do like the fact that 'he' is never the one to point out how charitable he is... and it's not just education, the Gates foundation is involved with a whole host of projects, one of the most important being to stamp out malaria... did anyone else read how Bill released hundreds of mosquitos (clean with no disease) in to the air at a conference on medical aid for third world countries ... genius.
