Secret meeting with Gates and Slim.

A few days ago I met with Charly Slim and Billo Gates. Three powerful minds got together. We discerned a few of our differences . I am more adventurous, squanderer, and more folk. Even then we are disgustingly rich, all three of us; what I'm trying to say, is that you can do it guys, you can make millions like us, just carry on! dream! don't give up! Life wasn't easy even for Billo or Charly, well, it was a little better for him since he inherited dough, but Billo and me; we forged ourselves through punishing beatings.

What in the name of the Steel Balls of Ronnie James Dio are you talking about?

It's entertaining and all, but I am having trouble understanding what it is you are driving at!

We are made of flesh and blood like you, and we age just like you, we are from the same race. If you we did it, you can do it. You are only a few billions away from us that's all, just don't ask me for any loans please

There's nothing wrong with telling white lies along the way to the top.

Actually telling "white lies" about where most of the code for the original DOS and Windows came from ?
Some of it was taken directly from OS2 Warp and the Apple OS of the time

Every luxury, every comfort we enjoy in the Western world has been wrung from the misery of some poor slobs in a third world hellhole ... clever arguments and deliberate ignorance aside, it is a very sad, poignant truth of our current system.

So, the only wealth and success that impresses me (and the mere handful of idealists like me) are the rare instances where the 'dream chasers' share the wealth equitably among the people who enable it existing in the first place.

Sorry to be preachy... well, not really... I am more sorry to be boring.
