Every big company invests in public relations. Koch Industries is very much in need of some good will. $1 million is pocket change fpr Koch Industries. $1 million is .03571% ofKoch Industries" net operating earnings in 1993. $1 million is less than 1 second's of profit earned by Koch Industries in 1993.

I just have to laugh a little at your inability to give any credit where credit is due...

Did your momma never tell you "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all?"

Really? Really? I kinda feel sorry for ya.

So, when Bill Clinton campaigned for Haitian Earthquake victims, you said nice things about him? Yes?

How about George Soros?

Until it is tax dollars from the half of the country that doesn't pay income tax and some of the other few who do and then there is no charity or caring.

Sandra Bullock gave a million all by herself. So maybe they are not so impressive??

This must be why we never, ever hear anything negative out of the right wing.

Maybe I did miss the point. We are supposed to be grateful to the Koch brothers for buying less than a second's profit worth of public relations.

Who really cares if it's a millisecond or 30 seconds of their profits? The point is they're contributing to a worthy cause. Who are you to judge what is done with the million or how it was gained?

Is it a good PR move? Yes. But donating 1 million dollars anywhere would have been a good PR move.

Some of you people are never happy with anything that's going on in the world!
