No Robo, I'm just damning him- absolutiely no praise intended.

This is the guy thatwas a monopolist, was on the boards of countless monopolies including U.S. Steel, who invented the "trust", brought about the Ludlow Massacre & the murders during the Homestead Strike & countless other atrocities against the working man and the U.S. in general. His practice was to meet union organizers with bullets.

Plenty out there to educate yourself with; you might want to start with Henry Demarest Lloyd's "Wealth Against Commonwealth" (1894) & Ida Tarbell's "History of the Standard Oil Company" (1904) and work up the many studies and/or biographies - several done in the last deacde or so. The man was a real piece of shite. He also virtually invented the "spin doctor" with his hired propogandist Ivy Lee- a worthy predecessor to Karl Rove. He also prided himself on being a "christian". [ ! ]

No amount of "philanthrophy" could begin to wash the blood off John D. Rockefeller's hands.

But I see you've fallen for his (& Lee's) shell game lock, stock & barrel, so looks like it STILL works, and once again, you've made my point for me.

Thanks!
