Dear Linda
I really enjoyed your article. Agree with you on many points but not so much on others. Too many thoughts to list here but one thing that I do know is that people like Bill Gates give exactly for the reasons you said. Here's the proof for those who think he does it for generosity. Wake up! All he cares about is money.
Bill Gates, Monsanto, and eugenics: How one of the world's wealthiest men is actively promoting a corporate takeover of global agriculture
"After it was exposed that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the philanthropic brainchild of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, purchased 500,000 shares in Monsanto back in 2010 valued at more than $23 million, it became abundantly clear that this so-called benevolent charity is up to something other than eradicating disease and feeding the world's poor. It turns out that the Gates family legacy has long been one of trying to dominate and control the world's systems, including in the areas of technology, medicine, and now agriculture.
The Gates Foundation, aka the tax-exempt Gates Family Trust, is currently in the process of spending billions of dollars in the name of humanitarianism to establish a global food monopoly dominated by genetically-modified (GM) crops and seeds. And based on the Gates family's history of involvement in world affairs, it appears that one of its main goals besides simply establishing corporate control of the world's food supply is to reduce the world's population by a significant amount in the process."
Most people these days really are consumed by greed and selfish pursuits. If you doubt this just watch some reality t.v. or celebrities or learn how the companies you give your money to use that money and you will be shocked. This world has become more evil but I don't believe in satan. I think people have just lost perspective about what really matters. They want everything fast, cheap, and easy without regard to how that affects others.
Every person can make a difference. Vote with your wallet or your fork or your lifestyle. It's not that hard to be a better human being. Just takes some awareness and practice.
