    Wow. Seventh period almost over, like a third game in a row just started. Tampa and Columbus have remarkable goaltenders. My game was supposed to start a half hour ago. Announcer just speculated about canes- bruins being rescheduled!

     

    See you tomorrow. Go Bruins!

    You have not PMed me to ask

     

    I asked with hopes of learning why you think what Bill Gates "is doing" is un American, if only in private. You can choose not to share, but if asking publicly instead of privately precludes that, I call BS.

     

    I believe in the greater good. Example - I don't have children, but I vote to be taxed in order to help fund schools and school programs.

     

    If the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation contributes more to funding the World Health Organization than the United States does, is that a bad thing in your opinion?

    I still want to know what you do think. You've suggested mentioning that here would get the thread locked, which makes me wonder if you are buying into some of the "theories" going around about Bill Gates (Fauci too?) and even BG Sr. If you are interested in doing so, you are more than welcome to PM me with your insight since I seem to have missed the points you only allude to.

    Did he do it for Americans or what that just a side effect? 

     

    If by side effect you mean that he helped to eradicate smallpox in the entire world, then I would absolutely suggest that he helped Americans. He did it for everyone, since we're all in this world together. Every. One.

     

    You might think that Gates donating $150 million to develop $3 doses of the coronavirus vaccine in other countries is un American, but it also helps keep you safer.

    Another side effect to deride? I for one am grateful.

    That would read so much better if it were American's Bill Gates was trying to help.

     

    By your logic, when Bill Foege helped to eradicate smallpox in developing countries he was NOT helping Americans? Interesting perspective...

    Bill seems to have an agenda, and it's not hard to see.

     

    Trying to keep people free from disease, poverty and hunger? Sounds downright un-american...

    That's his wheelhouse not viruses, immunization, global warming and population control.  Having money doesn't automatically make you an expert on everything.  It just gives you a platform.  He just needs to STFU.

     

    He also predicted a pandemic in 2015.

    Even more reason to like him.

     

    Oh, hey there "bro."

     

  10. I've fallen off 3 roofs, and one of them was on the job and 2-1/2 stories the hard way. I didn't see a doctor until approximately 6 months later, when I couldn't move one of my legs.

     

    A good friend's favorite nickname for me is still "Workmans' Comp..."
