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.

  Just one example I knew about: didn't think about who caused it.

  Do you have any?

  Off the top of my head? Maybe the Green Bay coal pile dust a few years back is the only thing that comes to mind. Probably more with some searching since there are dozens of Koch companies to chose from.
