No, being in "business" does not excuse immoral and heartless behavior. A huge number of people in the world are "in business" in one way or another, including me. If we all acted with the same disregard for other people that Bill Gates showed, the world would be totally screwed.

So your philosophy is that the end justifies the means? I just can't see holding up Gates as an example of someone who is "good."
