Let me bet. Al the so called "praise" come from the rest of the "elite group" and get slapped all over for every standard person to see and hear. Tomorrow, another member of the "elite group" do something "nice" and the "praise" get dished out again all over the show. What it boils down too, is that the "elite club" play little games and every member of the public believe they are the best thing since white bread.... And the "elite club" have a lot of snickers about how easy it is to play the sheeple.

If Bill Gates get tired of chickens, he can always buy some slaves just to free them. http://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/issues/99jul/9907sudanslaves2.htm

Interesting. When I worked in international relief I worked to establish "verifiable benefits" to people being served by our programs. Another group was working to determine exactly what % of your donations went directly to people with the goal of making that % 80 or better. Our motto was "80% verifiable results and no free chickens". Seriously it was actually a (bad) joke that some program coordinators considered the gift of a chicken to be a "significant or life-changing benefit". Heck if the people just got a mating pair of chickens that might actually develop into something but a single chicken? So we eliminated this as a criterion for success. Now Bill Gates brings the chickens right back into the picture.
