You may not remember me, but our kids went to the same private school (Go Wolves!) and we sat in several new year kick-offs and graduations together.
This was when my family was getting by on my single income and I was selling stock from my retirement fund each year to pay for that tuition, while you were campaigning for George Bush, pulling in 6 figures, and telling us how the Iraq war was justified.
Perhaps, my brother in Christ, you should sit this one out.
Peace

Malcolm Gladwell covered the history of the change to vegetable oils in one of his Revisionist History podcast episodes. Interesting. And chips probably did taste better back then.
