The financial markets generally are unpredictable.
So that one has to have different scenarios..
The idea that you can actually predict
what's going to happen contradicts my
way of looking at the market.

Well, you know, I was a human being before
I became a businessman.

Most of the poverty and misery in the
world is due to bad government, lack of
democracy, weak states, internal strife,
and so on.

Stock market bubbles don't grow out of
thin air. They have a solid basis in reality,
but reality as distorted by a misconception.

I'm not doing my philanthropic work, out
of any kind of guilt, or any need to create
good public relations. I'm doing it because
I can afford to do it, and I believe in
it.

My foundations support people in the country
who care about an open society. It's their
work that I'm supporting. So it's not
me doing it. But I can empower them. I
can support them, and I can help them.

The invasion of Afghanistan was justified:
that was where Osama bin Laden lived and
al Qaeda had its training camps. The invasion
of Iraq was not similarly justified.

The main difference between me and other
people who have amassed this kind of money
is that I am primarily interested in ideas,
and I don't have much personal use for
money.

Despite repeated assertions to the contrary
by various Fox News commentators, I have
not to date been a funder of Media Matters.
However, in view of recent evidence suggesting
that the incendiary rhetoric of Fox News
hosts may incite violence, I have now
decided to support the organization. Media
Matters is one of the few groups that
attempts to hold Fox News accountable
for the false and misleading information
they so often broadcast. I am supporting
Media Matters in an effort to more widely
publicize the challenge Fox News poses
to civil and informed discourse in our
democracy.
