Obviously, I like the idea and am pleased with anything that increases philanthropy. Even though I am certainly not in the same league as the billionaires, you know I have committed most of my fortune to changing fundraising education. For people to criticize the pledge overture or try to direct where the money should go is silly, unproductive and discouraging to people who truly want to make a difference for a particular issue. I suspect many of the wealthy people see these comments and think, "there they go again, telling me how to spend my money." Give me a couple of weeks. Something is brewing in me that others aren’t saying—it just needs some “simmer time.” Thanks for asking Patrick. I have been waiting to comment on the pledge.

I have heard you talk many times about increasing philanthropy and your philosophy of how we do that. What is your take on the "giving pledge" and how that will or won't help increase philanthropy? Bob,
Really enjoy the blog. I have heard you talk many times about increasing philanthropy and your philosophy of how we do that. What is your take on the “giving pledge” and how that will or won’t help increase philanthropy?
