I am disappointed that DailyGood has chosen a very Tyrannical statement from Bill Gates in attempt to demonstrate altruism. "show people the problems" has no connotation of discussion, and additionally implies that "people" is separate from the entity showing them the problem. By example, Bill Gates and other wealthy individuals not only unleash the solution by force; but they frequently are behind creating the original problem. "show them the solutions they will be moved to act" has all the earmarks of propaganda and Tyranny. The shameless rhetoric of Elite Powers have no place in a discussion of DailyGood. We must develop a sense of Understanding and Compassion, this NEVER imposes any belief-system upon other individuals or groups. Positive change happens within you and not by your expectations and/or interference with others, no matter how RIGHT you think you are. To believe YOU are right to the exclusion of others with conflicting opinions, is the first and last step to Tyranny.
