p> WORSE THAN THE U.N. br> Re: Jay D. Homnick's You Can Buff It, But You Can't Make It Shine : /p>

Where the ghastly Gates philanthropy is concerned, Mr. Homnick has nicely pointed out the tip of the iceberg, but no more than that.

The former editor of one of the other VRWC opinion journals has given us his Law: All institutions which are not explicitly right-wing tend, over time, to become left-wing. The Gates Foundation is well down that road, dancing, as Mr. Homnick points out, with the Planned Parenthood ghouls at the party of death. Nothing known to us at this juncture suggests the Gates monstrosity, now augmented by the Buffett Billions, won't join and then exceed the other bastard children of our beloved capitalist pigs in that race down the slippery slope. One thinks of the Ford Foundation and its fellow travelers, now reduced to relative fiscal pissantry by this unholy BuffetGates singularity, and one must shudder. The thing is much bigger than, say, Cuba, and is already inside the gates, so to speak.

p>It's bigger than the UN, for that matter. Perhaps this is a mission for the indispensable Jed Babbin. Start your research, Jed, there's a best seller in your future: Inside the Asylum: Why the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Is So Very Much Worse Than the U.N. br> -- Paul Kotik br> Plantation, Florida /p> p> Once again, Mr. Homnick, with added wit and satire, hits the nail on the head regarding the elite and their sad and twisted ways of thinking. I assume that given their wealth and power, these men of influence have morphed into demi-gods whose very thoughts and actions are deemed divinely inspired and will only provide goodness to all, especially the "little people." Well, the little people they think should exist anyway. Regardless, the world will go on, with or without the billions they place in the hands of those who adhere to the Culture of Death (as the late Pope John Paul II aptly named it) and survive. Hope springs eternal, especially for those who believe in God, not in the machinations of men. br> --
