What a Wonderful World

The world is not going to hell in a handbasket after all. The world's second richest man, Warren Buffet, announced that he giving away his fortune. From a man that's worth $40 billion, this is huge. And before you start wondering how you can get ahold of some of the dough, consider this: the bulk of the real estate tycoon's cash will be going to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which funds efforts to cure worldwide diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria, as well as other causes, such as libraries and schools. If the two richest people in the world are committed to philanthropy, there's hope for all of us.
