Default A rich guy to like.

Hey Vi, you can't say I don't like some rich guys, here's one that has a few good points:
George Soros
Founder and Chairman



A global financier and philanthropist, George Soros is the founder and chairman of a network of foundations that promote, among other things, the creation of open, democratic societies based upon the rule of law, market economies, transparent and accountable governance, freedom of the press, and respect for human rights.
Soros was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1930. His father was taken prisoner during World War I and eventually fled from captivity in Russia to reunite with his family in Budapest. Soros was thirteen years old when Hitler's Wehrmacht seized Hungary and began deporting the country's Jews to extermination camps. In 1946, as the Soviet Union was taking control of the country, Soros attended a conference in the West and defected. He emigrated in 1947 to England, supported himself by working as a railroad porter and a restaurant waiter, graduated in 1952 from the London School of Economics, and obtained an entry-level position with an investment bank.
Philosophy

At the London School of Economics, Soros became acquainted with the work of the philosopher Karl Popper, whose ideas on open society had a profound influence on his intellectual development. Specifically, Soros's experience of Nazi and Communist rule attracted him to Popper’s critique of totalitarianism, The Open Society and Its Enemies, in which he maintained that societies can only flourish when they allow democratic governance, freedom of expression, a diverse range of opinion, and respect for individual rights.
Philanthropy

As his financial success mounted, Soros applied his wealth to help foster the development of open societies. In 1979, Soros provided funds to help black students attend the University of Cape Town in apartheid South Africa. Soon he created a foundation in Hungary to support culture and education and the country’s transition to democracy. (One of his projects imported photocopy machines that allowed citizens and activists in Hungary to spread information and publish censored materials.) Soros also distributed funds to the underground Solidarity movement in Poland, Charter 77 in Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet physicist-dissident Andrei Sakharov. In 1982, Soros named his philanthropic organization the Open Society Fund, in honor of Karl Popper, and began granting scholarships to students from Eastern Europe. Bolstered by the success of these projects, Soros created more programs to assist the free flow of information. He supported educational radio programs in Mongolia and later contributed $100 million to provide Internet access to every regional university in Russia.

He's also an anti-Bush guy, with some real interesting things to say about the Bush regime. Now here's a rich guy I can like. He also has a few points I disagree with, but overall, I've listened to him speak and he is very intelligent, The big plus for me is Fox news hates him, so he can't be all bad.

I used to do the same, but, I couldn't take it any more. It got where I wanted to hurl something through the TV screen, so I get enough brainwash from CNN and MSNBC. For real news, I usually go to LINK TV or the net.

News is just news, you wanting to through somthing through the screen just shows your knee jerk mentality.
Soros is just a RICH PIMP and you are fronting for him.

While CNN and MSNBC do give a lift wing slant to their reporting a smart man sees through that and can git a fair understanding of whats going on even from them, as long as they are of good mind.
