but its still a percentage. gandhi and mother theresa devoted their *entire* lives to helping people. im not saying bill should give it all away. but until bill does something more than throw some money at charities once in a while dont make him out to be a greater humanitarian than mother theresa. bill sacrifices a small percentage of his money. mother theresa and gandhi sacrificed their *lives* for what they believed in. their contribution was far greater. that is unless you can put monetary value on what thwey did. can you?
