Thanks to those that have taken the time to watch this video. I posted it up because I thought it had a great "life's lesson" in it. I'm not a religious guy or anything... and in fact I'll vote republican 9 out of 10 times. But when people ask me what I am (politically) I tell them I'm a "democratic republican... because the republicans allow me to earn enough so that I can afford to be democratic".
Personally I never give to people just panhandling on the corner or at the offramp etc. I have a very short list of charities that we like and that's it. I own McDonalds stock - and eat there very LITTLE (really only if I'm hauling the trailer somewhere)... but when I do - I always slip some money into the Ronald McDonald House collection box. My sister in law works in the kids cancer ward as a nurse and I hear the stories... The only thing I 'bought' last year at Barrett Jackson was a donation to the Victory Junction Kids camp.
One of our friends ran the Gates Foundation until a couple years ago... and I always would argue with her about their "off shore" funding because I felt that there was so much more they could do "right here". But that's a personal issue and needs to be decided by each individual, and if that's what Bill wants to do, then so be it.
