poisoned our entire society. The "Me Decade" was merely a preview of what was to come - an era when people worship money and care about nothing else. One of my favorite examples is Bill Gates. When I criticized him, people often reply, "But he's donated millions of dollars to the Seattle School District!"

I counter, "But HOW was the money used? Did it actually make it into the classroom? How can corrupt school officials be trusted with money donated by Gates or anyone else? Why is the district's decline continuing?"

I say, "Bill Gates is global menace!"

They reply, "But he gave millions of dollars to the Seattle School District!"
