1. Gates is not perfect but I think he tries

People are always hating on him but I know plenty of poor people who have cheated on spouse, shown bad judgment or engaged in tough business tactics. They are usually judged by others as imperfect, not demonic.

He reads, keeps his mind open, tries to do some good things, questions his own judgment or choices which is a healthy thing to do.

The right wing machine holds centrist or left wing rich do-gooders in disdain, pretending that they are satan-worshipping communists or child predators or murderers. I am reticent to assume that I know enough about these people to judge what kind of people they are.

I’d prefer to keep an open mind.
