Koch took to the opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday night to decry "collectivists" who try to "discredit and intimidate" him even though everything he does in the political realm is intended to revive "a truly free society."

1. I hate what they do, what they stand for

But yes, I can feel sorry for people like the Koch Bros.

I can't even imagine what it must be like. To have so much money and wealth that you could make such a positive impact on the world and the people in it, but choose to spend it doing just the opposite. Such a person much be so empty and hateful on the inside, how could you not feel pity for them.

It's like Ebeneezer Scrooge who will never be visited by the Spirits to awaken him to the error of his ways. I know nothing of the great beyond, but a whole lot of bad karma is being broadcast there, I hope.

Sad.
