Why does the fact that Gates funds much needed charities in Africa matter to you? It isn't your money. The WSJ castigated Gates for similar reasons when he initially set up his charity. Funny how conservatives demand obeisance to the idea that one's own money is one's own to decide what to do with until the owner decides to spend it differently from how they would have spent it if it were their money.

The US is in desperate need the kind of privacy protections that are in place in the EU. It really pisses me off when I call up the gas or cable company and they demand that I give them my SSN and mother's maiden name in order to talk to, say, a billing rep. Private enterprise collects way too much info on their customers and has no problem sharing that info with whoever they choose irrespective of whether their customers want them to share that info. We have a few select laws like HIPAA but most have no teeth like the financial privacy laws that allow your bank to share your data with their marketing affiliates who can then share it with whoever they please.
