missingblade,
interesting that you mention Bill Gates, his massive donation to his own trust is indeed a great move. But, of course you forget that Bill gave almost all his money, actually about 80% of it. When you remember that Bill was a multi billionaire - about $5 billion I think - that leaves Bill $1 point something billion for him to feed his family and buy tasteful sweaters.....
volarecantare,
yes - it's good to talk. As we humans have the largest brains in nature, and our intelligence has gone way beyond the dolphins, the firt thing we would have 'capitalised' on would have been land - territory - as we hadn't invented money 1 million years ago. Then we found that we needed to defend that land/territory - and so eventually a few hundred thousand years on - borders were born. With those borders came the wealth of the land within, and then jealousy of the land beyond. Greed, war, violence, theft etc. The thing that fascinates me that an animal (humankind) that is intelligent enough to survive and has developed systems to exist in some sort of peace/equality, be it in small numbers, in the 5 billion residents, that we still feel we need greed/borders. Your thoughts.
