As far as these people are concerned, that only applies to the rich. (not that all rich people think like them)

In the "latest crisis" article it states, "The billionaires said the money would go to anti-smoking groups working with governments of developing countries such as India and China to curb tobacco use."

Gee, give millions of dollars to anti-smoking groups working with a communist government.

Why the heck didn't I think of that!

Hey Bill, don't forget, 100101010011110, garbage in, 1010100101, garbage out.

Woo Hoo! Look at the Heros now!

Don't worry about AIDs or starving children in Africa, or even Genocide in Darfur!

Gates and Bloomberg got it right saving the world from the "evils" of tobacco!

FY.

I absolutely hate Bloomberg. Not only does he want people to die by taking away guns, now he wants people to be miserable.

HEY BLOOMBERG AND GATES

Saw these 2 on TV last night being interviewed by Charlie Rose. I watched about 2 minutes of Bloomberg pontificating and had to change the channel before I puked up my dinner.

Re: Bloomberg, Gates pledge $375 mil against tobacco
Just remember, this is America and people can do whatever they want with the money they have...if it's legal that is.

I may not agree with what they're doing, but I do respect their right to do it. Its no worse than being forced to listen to Kanye West rail against the Bush administration during an AWARDS show...not a politcal event.
