It's Hard to Be Good

I applaud the way Bill Gates is putting his vast wealth to good use through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, just as I despise the way he gained it. But it's interesting to see that even being good is hard:

In a contradiction between its grants and its endowment holdings, a Times investigation has found, the foundation reaps vast financial gains every year from investments that contravene its good works.

Seems it's not so easy to keep the bad bits from ruining the good bits. (Via Slashdot.)
