Bill Gates is spending his money, time and passion on folks who are mostly invisible to the rest of the world, who don’t necessarily share our values, who will never be able to thank him, who probably don’t even know who he is.

Bill has won plenty of accolades for his foundation, but more from the world of charities and doctors than from us. When the digerati last year launched a rallying cry to give entrepreneurs the Nobel Prize, it was for the founders of Twitter, not Bill Gates.

Why do you think Silicon Valley has never quite come around on this guy? He deserves better.
