Subject: RE: DTStudy: Jay Gould's Daughter
Then, there's another long, long tradition I call "Lets All Romanticize / Whitewash / Excuse / Condone The Robber Barrons And Their Families Because They Gave A nickel To Charity" - a great American tradition.

John D, Rockefeller, Jr. was another of these poor, misunderstood "philanthropists" with the blood of thousands of his fathers victims on his hands, as well as the blood of his own victims at Ludlow & elsewhere.

Lets all shed a tear for the poor, misunderstood Robber Barons.

PS: Grishka: please enlighten us - with facts - as to exactly where Sam Clemens was wrong in his analysis of Mr. Gould and "not to be trusted".
