...very pleased with TIME's choice of the "Good Samaritans," Bill and Melinda Gates and Bono, as your Persons of the Year [Dec. 26, 2005--Jan. 2, 2006]. Those three have been successful in breaking through people's apathy about worldwide poverty that kills millions every year. The trio is waking us up to the world's problems. Here is a son who lost a mother because of AIDS. There is a father who lost a daughter to malaria. How can we be indifferent to those sorrows? The Gateses and Bono are pioneers, leading us to end that injustice. ALISA...

...volunteer should have been TIME's choice. Bono and the Gateses have the resources to do great things for the world, and they should be obliged to. There were, however, many people who left the comfort of their homes to help rebuild houses in tsunami-stricken countries. Generous people welcomed Katrina victims into their homes, and some individuals who were struggling financially managed somehow to donate money. Although Bono and the Gateses have done great things, people who help others out of the kindness of their heart are even more significant...
...blessed Bono with a beautiful voice and a beautiful soul. He is not another misinformed celebrity with a cause. He has done his homework, made friends on both sides of the partisan divide in Washington and worked to bring hope to those in despair. I would ask anyone who dismisses him as a pompous rock star, What have you done to help those plagued by poverty and disease...
