          Laura:
          No, you're not alone in seeing the moral nuance, Mark.  
          When he writes of IG Farben or the Ludlow Massacre, 
          there's not a whole lot of room for moral nuance.  I don't 
          know of any essays written by anyone (correct me 
          someone if I'm wrong) that show that the Rockefeller's 
          actions in the Ludlow massacre were based on a  
          genuinely moral outlook.  You don't need to be a 
          moralizing prig to come down on  the side of the miners. . . .

. . . . and if you're willing to take the Red Pill and go pedal to the metal
paranoid on the subject of the Rockefeller/Bush/Big Oil axis of evil, oozing 
from AtD into GR and then on in to our present day; note how consistently, 
in OBA's revisionist fictions, that crew gets to be "Worst Persons
of the Novel."

Coincidence? I think not . . . .
