    What an example to set ... Let's hope more follow suit.

    What would have been more impressive if Mr. Branson had dismantled his arilines & planes. After all aren't they contributing to global warming also?

    More symbolism over substance.

    I dare say that if Mr. Branson, had the true courage of his convictions, he would give away everything above what he needed to survive on, to those that are truly in need. Somehow I don't think that will happen anytime soon.

    Good on you Richard. I am sure its not a publicity stunt.

    So, do you think his plans to build an oil refinery are now on hold.

    Of course you "dare" to say that, since you enjoy the benefits of anonymity of this site. I wonder if you'd do what you suggested Mr. Branson should do above if you were in his shoes? I'd be willing to bet my house that you wouldn't. You've exhibited an absolute lack of compassion for others on this forum, yet you have the nerve to criticize Mr. Branson for not giving away everything except that which he needed to survive on. Have you converted from being a conservative to a communist?

    ROFLMAO, Hillary. Clear and concise; I'm giving you an "E" for excellent on your "counsel slip."
