my ex-wife has aspergers and fit in well at sf cons, where inappropriate behavior is often either tolerated, or ignored.  the problem is that she is raising our son the same way her mother raised her, without any boundries.  i see this more and more with the paris hilton generation.
  
if i had the tens of billions that gates has to work with, i really believe i could do a lot more good. i suspect a lot of that money is being used inefficiently.
