Well, I'd explain, but if you have to ask that question, you wouldn't understand. But what is my suggestion? For society, my suggestion is to break the centralized government control of education. Government has proven that they're not up to the task. My suggestion for Gates? Do here what Oprah did in Africa. Rather than trying to give your money to the government and expect that they'll educate people, set up competing schools with your $3 Billion. You'll help a lot more people directly than if you try to filter your money through a bloated, inefficient political process beholden to special interest groups. And yes, you're right, I don't "contribute" money to Congress. They reach into my paycheck and take it without my consent. I'd be much more able to afford private education for my soon-to-be-born son if the government hadn't taken over $30,000 of my money last year. What gives me the right?

What gives you the right to be a detractor? Did you help fight aids and malaria? Did you contribute money to congress on behalf of the nations schools? Not that Gates is wonderful, but at least he's trying. And your suggestion is? What gives you the right to be a detractor? Did you help fight aids and malaria?
