Howard Buffett on Charlie Rose Oct 2009
Sun, October 18, 2009 
Following Charlie Rose on Twitter today does nothing to minimize the fact that I missed one of our favorite people, Howard Buffett Friday night.
The video is posted now, and we’re working on a writeup.
Howard is quoted as saying that we Americans are winners of the ovarian lottery. We did nothing to deserve being born here, rather than any number of other places in the world.
This is exactly my point about why we must care what about the human condition. But for the grace of ?? go I.
As Bill and Melinda Gates remind us, every life counts equally. Listening to Hward Buffett speak, it’s clear that he feels the same way about the human condition.
Howard talks about his book: Fragile: The Human Condition.The book is an effort to move conversations about global conversations beyond the intellect to creating emotional connection.
This is our goal here at Anne of Carversville — to intercept readers following digital pursuits that please them, with the realities of conditions elsewhere.
Without guilt, we hope to educate and establish global connections around human reality everywhere .
In this clip from the Charlie Rose interview, we see Howard’s mother Susan — the person who gave him almost everything “except good looks”, according to Howard — expressing her views on serving humanity.
I did not know that the Buffetts — traditional Midwesterners — had an unusual marriage. Those details are omitted here as irrelevant, but I’ll flush them out over in Smart Sensuality.

Friday, Oct. 16th was World Food Day, a project that’s a big part of Howard’s life. These stories may interest you; we reference the philosophy and efforts of the Howard Buffett Foundation, as well as close friends Bill and Melinda Gates:
