Billionaire industrialist David H. Koch, who with his older brother Charles was both celebrated and demonized for transforming American politics by pouring their riches into conservative causes, died Friday at 79.

The cause of death was not disclosed, but Koch Industries said Koch, who lived in New York City, had contended for years with various illnesses, including prostate cancer.

    Delusional

    Or brainwashed, but I guess they're sort of the same thing. It does sadden me that part of the problem these days is that reasonably sane people fall for evil power grubbing propaganda.

    I just need to be right. I find it remarkable how people can't even begin to understand these issues, but they somehow retain barely enough mental capability to accuse me of being brainwashed and such. You're not fooling anyone who isn't already fooled.
