I Think I'm a Genius

When I was pretty young, about 12 or so, I started trying to think of ways to help change the world. My best idea was to get someone who had so much money they could easily afford to give it away (I chose the iconic Bill Gates) to buy farm equipment for developing countries. I even added that it wouldn't necessarily have to be a charitable enterprise, because Gates could sign an agreement with the countries that they would continue to turn to his equipment company for repairs and upgrades, which they would pay for. Eventually, he could even make money on the deal. And even if he didn't, he has so much freaking money anyway.

Well now, a little over ten years later, what do I read on CNN.com?

Bill Gates' new project: Farming



If only I'd had access to Bill Gates at age 12, think how much better off we'd be now.
