Gates and Buffett: Friendly Advice on Philanthropic Goals

Warren Buffett announced today that he was going to donate over $ 37 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. That would more than double the Foundations size to over $ 67 billion. Staggering sum ! I offer some friendly advice.

Please remember Messrs. Gates and Buffett for every life you save they must then have a place to stand, food and water. Therefore birth control and land conservation will make your generosity actually effective and long-lasting. Otherwise you will appear to do good but it will only get worse for the most vulnerable.
