Sam Simon


Tammy Bruce twitters a link to hollywoodreporter. 

Sam Simon 'Simpsons' co-creator vows to bequeath his fortune.  Matt Groening says he is "brilliantly funny and mentally unbalanced" 

He has given away quite a lot already, and he has some very nice looking dogs in the accompanying photo.
I just wanted to have some days where I get to see animals walk in grass for the first time. Through PETA, we rescue animals in roadside zoos and circuses. They are some of the most abused animals in the country. Freeing those animals, that's something I'm not sure I would do if it weren't for the cancer.
Very nice interview overcoming the handicap of THR's achingly vapid interrogatives like: Do you get frustrated with bad things happening to good people? Like, why didn't someone else get this cancer?
One of the things about animal rights, which is not the only thing that I care about in this world, is that your money can bring success. I see results. There is stuff happening, really good stuff, every week. I'm not sure you get that with a lot of disease charities. If you were donating to environmental causes for the past 20 years, do you think your money is doing anything? Because I don't, and I used to support some conservationist stuff -- Sierra Club, World Wildlife Fund. They're treading water. 
He was doing so well and then,
Climate change is a big part of their problem. The environment has been destroyed, basically.
And it has been destroyed. Where there are too many people amassed together. That is why there should be planetary laws that prevent cities growing beyond, say, 1,000.000 citizens and after that they must go off and start new satellite cities, go elsewhere. In order to prevent that environmental damage. This advanced urban planning knowledge comes from prolonged studies conducted by the United Federation of Inhabited Planets.
