Bill Gates point of view, should help explain the "French revolution"

 ELITE RULING CLASS DISPLAYS THEIR INEPTNESS EVERY DAY

LIVING IN A BUBBLE WORLD OF WEALTH, INSULATED FROM THE NORMAL REALITIES OF LIFE

Bill Gates, speaking from his vast experience and wisdom, has stated that an energy crisis in Europe with its accompanied rising costs is  "GOOD ". He states that this will encourage a quicker move to renewable energy and also the inventions necessary to accomplish this move. This mentality is often witnessed and heard from the likes of Gates, Nancy Pelosi, and John Kerry, all who have little understanding about the lives of the common citizens of the world. Their big view of the world is what they imagine, much like the John Lennon song, is not the reality experience of the vast majority of the worlds population.   

Not taking into account the suffering and possible death of many of Europe's lower and middle class citizens, while they fly around the world in their private or taxpayer paid for jets, spewing forth the vast knowledge that they imagine they have. 

Gates may be very talented when it come to computer programming, but I expect he has spent very little time considering those simple necessities of food and energy. Although he is buying up farmland and seems to desire government subsidies to pursue his dream of "Crop Science"  Actually growing crops is not high tech nor is it in need of government assistance. I suspect if we go down that road we will all be hungry.

Then there is John Kerry whose only smart decision was marrying the widow of the Heinz Corp. and access to its billions. He doesn't really seem to have much understanding about anything, but has many dreams bout how the world should, or could be, with his expertise.

Then of course Pelosi, whose unlimited political power has given her the conclusion that she is the smartest person in world and lets everyone know how it is to be lived. 

Why doesn't Gates put his billions to work actually developing alternative energies, not just rejoicing at the misery of others to encourage someone else to develop those alternatives.

Kerry seems to live in the limelight, eating quiche and sipping fine wine, with his only claim to fame his wife's Billions. Without his wife he could be living in a tent in Hollywood.

Just these three, and I could add and I expect other readers could add, to a long list of personalities who are so out of touch with the realities of the common man. Looking at these high fliers explains what many could not understand about what happened in the French revolution. Is it possible when all these pipe-dreams come to fruition and the world descends into chaos and destruction one will understand the  shocking displays of citizen anger and an outpouring of violence and wrath focused at the leaders that led to their destruction.
