"Ric Weiland, who helped his friends Bill Gates and Paul Allen launch Microsoft, was a quiet philanthropist. But his final gift has provided one of the most powerful financial boosts ever to the gay-rights movement.
Weiland has left $65 million to the Pride Foundation in Seattle and 10 nonprofit organizations, believed to be the largest estate gift ever given to the gay and lesbian community in the U.S.
His generosity didn't stop there.
Weiland left $160 million, the majority of his estate, to charity. That includes a gift to Stanford University estimated to be worth $60 million, which the university said is the largest bequest it has ever received. Weiland also gave significant amounts toward environmental protection and scientific research."

I can't really say I knew about this man Ric Weiland during his life but this great act well ensure his memory will last on. If can't take it with you put it to good use!

It's sad to hear how much he suffered during his lifetime. What a generous gift to the gay community. Hopefully this will help legalize gay marriage and start a new era for the gay rights movement!

Main Idea -
An Interrogation by a Child of a Heavenly Father of the cause to the' effect of the financial transfer to ELEVEN nonprofit CORPORATE organizations:----
Topic A) Q. Will the Gambling purse of the Poor Woman cause the Fearing Viper of ANY CORPORATE AWARDEE to continue in her "Avoidance" of the American Pursuit of Divine Happiness?-------Topic A - Supporting Idea 1) Such as the Happiness of Our Father bearing the sacred memory' of the American event of which brought us Children ahead of the night amidst the fire and brimstone burned down dirty little Inhabitants of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah?-------
Topic B - Supporting Idea 1) Who are the other TEN CORPORATE AWARDEE'S ?------- Topic B - Supporting Idea 2) Do they believe in the American Pursuit of - "Happiness - as - being partly the act of letting go of A Perverted Nightmare in order to take hold of the Dreams of the Children of Our totally AMERICAN Father.." ?---------------------------
(i.e. Desert-Soul StormNotes) HIS - Forward moving -STORY always comes again towards a New creation is what I have first heard and following that, then witnessed.------Unlike Her-Backwards-Story.--- Supportive Point 1) The story of which is regularly subject to Massive Military Bombardment's Sailing her Out! and Off the edge of the World' by the Swine-herding village no matter how she votes as a Swine-herder. Supportive Point 2) Voting through Corporate Board meetings against America only to go directly to the broadest ways of a Foreignest's Pigpile for her next indecisive plan of inaction.
---My Way Is of a Sacred American path to follow to a NEW Israel whereby a Red Hiefer will be Continually Sacrificed between the Children who have a Father with a History of Smashing the Golden Calves of the Faithless woman who told the Children Not to think about Walking to their Freedom..in the Templeland of Israel! --- Of course,This was only a beginning event toward our true destiny..at the Command of our Heavenly Father!-

What does that mean???
-
It means HIssSStory has not been completely "Edited" and as with all LIFE' remain's flexible to the CURRENT Issue at Hand.
Any delay in the posting of the "Apocalyptic" Final Edition' is most Mercifully due to the effect's of the "Writers Guild " resuming their action plan.

I've been with my g/f/wife for almost 6 years now and I refuse to get married until it is available to ALL citizens, Whitman summed it up best i think.

By God! I will accept nothing which all cannot have their
counterpart of on the same terms"-
