Mr Buffet has also said that he would - if he were convinced it was
possible - invest $1 billion in a time machine so he could go back and
kill Orville and Wilbur before they invented the airplane.

Apparently he's still bitter about loosing money in American Airlines.

He supported INCREASING income taxes (less that 10% of HIS income) and he
supported cutting Capital Gains taxes.

He's a massive hypocrite.

He would've had to kill hundreds of other people to keep us out of the air.

and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.

And he apparently feels he is above the law and committing multiple murders
to better his financial well being is justified. Not the kind of person we
should be listening to about anything.

Apparently you're willing to draw such a conclusion about someone based on
nothing more than a rumor. Do you have a scintilla of evidence that he ever
said any such thing? (He did once quip that investors would have saved a lot
of money if someone had shot down the plane at Kitty Hawk, but that remark
obviously has a very different tone than the one you're willing to accuse
him of making.)

Uh, the difference is between saying in all seriousness that the act should
have been carried out--and that he himself would still do it, if only it
were possible--versus a joke as to what the consequence of the act (or
actually a much lesser act) would have been, but with no advocacy of the act
(and--obviously--no literal belief that the stated consequence would
actually have accrued; no one could seriously believe that a crash of the
Wright brothers' plane would actually have prevented the advent of
aviation).

In other words, it's the difference between harboring a literal desire to
murder (which is what you astonishingly attribute to him) versus harboring a
sense of humor. Does that distinction *really* need to be explained to you?
Has the habit of demonizing people you disagree with become so deeply
ingrained that you will attribute the most outlandish forms of evil to them
without a shred of evidence?

Worry not! Orville and Wilbur are dead. They can't be murdered.

I'm not sure Warren knows that. He's a pretty goofey character.
