Funny how the $100 million got all the press coverage. W-E | must have
worked overtime to squelch the other story.

Comparing those two dollar amounts is completely specious.  OF FUCKING
COURSE a corporation is gonna invest more in their business interests,
compared to the private charitable contributions of the corporation's
principals.

I'm willing to bet that Ford spends more on TV ads for their trucks than
the amount they've donated to MADD, too.
