I have often wondered why common sense is so called, because it seems very far indeed from being in any way common. I have no particular liking for Bill Gates and his methods of business, but I cannot deny that he is successful at what he does and money in the bank always counts for more than failed good intentions or thwarted aspirations. It is not unusual for men in his position to persuade themselves that having reached the giddy heights of super wealth they have some responsibility to lecture the rest of us. Wealth insulates us from the often harsh realities of everyday life, and this truth applies not only to the idle and feckless young Mr Gates preaches to, but also to Mr Gates himself.
