Thanks for your post #27. It is one of the few thoughtful posts on this thread.

Don’t you think its a bit hypocritcal that while preaching population control and pressure on resources the esteemed Mr. Gates occupies a 66,000 square foot home in Washington state that is unquestionably one of the biggest mansions in the entire world? And that doesn’t count other expansive properties he leases and owns. In all likelihood this one individual consumes more than 100,000 feet of living space, at the very least. I’d say its pretty obvious that he doesn’t want anyone crowding his space.
I really don’t care whether Mr. Gates is hypocritical or not. I have no interest in Mr. Gates or anything he has to say. My reference was to DJTaylor’s post #24 (not #27, as I wrote). I was simply commenting that Mr. Taylor had something worthwhile to say and the Freepers comments on this subject are always extremely predictable.
And, hypocritically, Gates also has three children. While the rest of us should be licensed to have one, two at most.
