Poor Decision

I applaud Mr. B's decision to donate a large percentage of his wealth to charity, but, BUT - for the world's second richest man to effectively give his money to the world's first richest man displays a stunning lack of imagination, IMO. There must be thousands of other very worthwhile charities around the world who won't receive support from the Gates' Foundation (no criticism there - they can't help everybody). Warren B' could have helped those organisations instead as, clearly, Bill and Linda Gates are more than able to fund their own foundation.
