  1. I agree! I just read it, and honestly, this is the only way the world is going to change. Amazing, and I hope those friendships continue, especially among the kids who grow up to run the world.

  2. Since the profit of an oil company is considered an appropriate topic for a “jewish themed” website I’m going to assume an implied moral(=self-righteous) message is being sent by posting this.
