| 30. Our little podunk town |
|
in the middle of Nebraska got a Carnegie library and so did a lot of other little podunk towns all across the nation.
More recently, a lot of those libraries got computers through the Gates Foundation.
I don't see how either benefactor stood to gain anything but the satisfaction of helping educate the nation (and maybe a little goodwill) from these donations.
