I LIKE 'EM!


"Koch Industries, Inc.". Company Profile Report. Hoover's, Inc. 2010. Retrieved 2010-05-10. "[W]hen he tried to market his invention, the major oil companies sued him for patent infringement. Koch eventually won the lawsuits (after 15 years in court), but the controversy made it tough to attract many US customers."

Al Gore has done pretty well as an author. He even has respect from intelligent people in a multitude of different disciplines.

We need more smart people to not only speak up but to show the courage of their convictions and stand up to powerful forces which are attempting to marginalize intellectualism for political and financial gain.

You mean the one where Goldman Sachs would run the exchange? That carbon credit scam??? UNBELIEVABLE. Bush would be crucified if he tried to tout that one.

Combined, the Koch brothers' net worth exceeds Bill Gates.

Both Gates and Buffet are donating their wealth to the Gates Foundation.
