    In all seriousness, I think this is great!

    That said, I'd be most appreciative if they would start by sending a little my way.

    Philanthropy on any scale is a rich and wonderful thing we should all aspire to. I would love to see a balance of monies spent here in the states as well as abroad. As they say charity starts at home ! That being said I just marvel at the numbers these industry moguls can muster......boggles the mind all the good that can be done with and the possibilities for corruption at the same time. I would want a very trusted staff to over see in great detail how all the monies get spent. Like our own government less is more and as it pertains to this gifts maybe lots of smaller gifts are better than one huge gift ?
