This week had some very interesting news coming in from the Oracle of Omaha ! It’s not everyday you come across someone who gives away over 85% of his wealth in charity. Its not the sheer billions that it translates to, but in absolute terms, 85% means a freaking lot. Personally, I am not sure, I can take a decision of that magnitude. But what the heck, It was his decision and I am mighty glad that people like him actually are around in these days of brazen money-driven lifestyles. However, I was thinking something else with regard to these huge sums. And a reporter at LA times has already done a very good report on that. With such abundance of private money, would Governments start shying away from what is essentially their *duty* ? Some of the points raised in that story are indeed interesting, and more importantly, worrying :-|
