EDITORIAL: I reply to Bill Gates Linked In letter

This morning I took a moment to read BILL GATES letter concerning his hopes for the future of mankind. Now I know that self-made billionaires like M. Gates and MARK ZUCKERBERG and RICHARD BRANSON eventually MUST consider offering views, philanthropic views that is, politically correct philanthropic views to be precise, to help all of us non-billionaires make sense of why they have all the money and we struggle for every crumb.

This past Monday's letter concerned the much needed quest for clean new sources of energy to help impoverished nations. Looks so wise, so sane, so much like the real solution to poverty! BUT WAIT!!!!

The first issue to be considered before wasting huge amounts of precious resources on finding NEW sources of clean energy to help the poor of the world, who will, by the way, have to PAY for the new clean energy billionaire corporations will create for them to not be poor anymore, the first issue should be: WHERE IS OUR ENERGY GOING TO RIGHT NOW? 

If modern people would stop wasting energy and resources on death and its machine, war, everybody on earth would have enough energy to not be poor, for example! All countries and cultures are guilty of this wasteful behavior so I am not talking about politics. If politicians would stop trying to be media stars by using all that energy to look good to us, and most of us are not fooled by the multimedia presentations of said politicians, energy could be shared to educate poor people. Examples of misused energy are abundant!

So M. Bill Gates here is one source of CLEAN ENERGY TO HELP THE POOR : GOOD MANAGEMENT OF CURRENT SOURCES!
