TIME's choices for Person of the Year are often controversial. Editors are asked to choose the person or thing that had the greatest impact on the news, for good or ill—guidelines that leave them no choice but to select a newsworthy—not necessarily praiseworthy—cover subject.

And I'd like you to prove the validity of your assertions regarding what these people do and the negative impact that has. Ta.
Ya, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I know that, and it's clear that these "honoree"'s got their awards for doing "good" in the opinion of the mainstay LME mag. Once again, I am not doing your homework for you - Gates website makes clear the discriminatory nature of the millenium scholarships - just go read it! You can also check out Bono's "philanthropic" career easily.
