Don't know of Paul Allen, but sure folks appreciate what he may have done.
However, when talking of "charity" (that could also be defined as investment), the comparisons between the disadvantage of having a local softball diamond and people who will be dead thru starvation by tomorrow, is a little out of context.
The perspective between real need, disease and starvation and comparing that to computers, softball areas and music projects in the US is too absurd and shows a complete non-understanding of any hardship.
There is no comparison between the US or any other northern hemisphere western country and nations with severe hardship. They all have a life of pampered luxury and totally spoilt in comparison.
