Kudos to the billionaires

I have always admired Bill and Melinda Gates for how they have dealt with their fortune. Bill recently announced that he was retiring and would devote the rest of his life to giving away his money. Now Warren Buffett (second richest man in the world) has announced that he will do the same:

Bravo, Warren. Classy move.

what a shame. he could have donated it to university athletic programs and built indoor practice fields for every team.

unfortunately, disease, starvation, and education come first for him.

My admiration for him just skyrocketed.

A brilliant move. Now he doesn't have to worry about people fighting over his money and debating his intent as manifested in his will. He just spends the money as he sees fit.
