Many years ago, Time magazine ran an article about Bill Gates and Microsoft where they interviewed his parents. His mother recalled that when Bill was a young boy she would realize she had not seen him in awhile and would call to him, "Bill? Bill?". He would respond. "What are you doing?", she'd asked. "I'm thinking", he would respond.
Boy, was he thinking. He was thinking about things that many of us still can't comprehend.
Thankfully, Gates is still thinking. He is thinking about how we can save ourselves, well, from ourselves. We should listen. Here he is speaking at TED (Technology Entertainment and Design): Ideas worth spreading. The topic of state budgets doesn't sound interesting but it is worth hearing (10 minutes).

I don't know. He seems to have joined the bashing teachers bandwagon.
Pam - I didn't hear that, unlike what I'm hearing in Wisconsin and some of our other states. I was hearing investment in education. I'll listen again with a different ear. I am personally very pro-teacher!
