Pissing it away in the third world is like putting it in a pile and setting it on fire. You want to do something good for the world, cure cancer, spend it on childhood deseases here in the US.
the third world?

Buffet is a rich man I doubt he would expect you or anyone else below his position to understand the choices he makes
the Bill and Melinda gates foundation has 100's of programs they sponsor throughtout the U.S. and abroad. Being that he is a real buisness man he knew that to scale up his on charitable orginazation would not be as smart as giving the money to an existing orginazation with a proven track record and headed up by some of the smartest people in the world
again he wouldnt expect anyone beneath his intelectual level to understand such things and I am sure there have been plenty critics ( mostly republicans)
hopefully his example will influence other rich people and drive the reality of mortality home
you cant take it with you
to Mr Buffet
