Like I don't think Stephen King is a billionaire but if he were we'd have to keep in mind that they cut down half the rainforest to sell enough books for him to become a billionaire. And the people doing the cutting were probably child slaves or something.

And so billionaires are classed by "least evil" and as such Steve Jobs was probably one of the least evil. Like didn't him and Bill Gates try to outdo each other giving money to AIDS and cancer research and so on?

FYI Bill Gates is probably more evil than Steve Jobs on the scale of evil (even though I prefer Microsoft products).

EDIT: BTW what I said about the child cotton pickers, I can guarantee you that if you ever bought an "organic" cotton shirt or pair of jeans there's about a 97% chance the cotton was harvested by child slaves somewhere, probably Pakistan.

Billionaire are still people. Just really lucky ones who were willing to do horrible things to people for their own benefit. That's no reason to judge them any differently than other people. They don't have to be billionaires, they chose to be that greedy and ambitious and that apathetic about human suffering.
