I watched that Sunday CNN guy whose name I can't spell interview Bill Gates today. Bill Gates. What an exceptionally fine man he is. Look at his face (you can't hide what's on your face). High intelligence. Friendly. He is obviously comfortable being Bill Gates. Watch him respond to questions and he might reach up and readjust his glasses. Also, he has a habit while talking of reaching over with his right hand and twisting his wedding ring. Is that a way of touching bases with Melinda?
If I could get every living American to line up according to the contributions he/she has made to their fellow humans on the planet Earth, brother Gates would be very close to the front of the line. The remarkable accomplishment of his entrepreneurial creation of Microsoft has been topped by the amazing impact his philamprothy to international causes has had.
Gates has also used the excellence of his mind to consider problems in our national life and offer intelligent opinions that could solve them. Of course, this gift from Gates can only be valuable if there is someone smart enough to recognize its worth. He recognized the coronavirus threat years before it happened but his warnings went unheeded. The brilliance of Bill Gates's mind has not been a secret for many years and why political leaders would not seek his counsel is hard to understand. Maybe some important clout-meister will come along in the next few months and see the light.
