re: #355 Big Steve

Jon Huntsman has a bigger problem than being Mormon and moderate……his family fortune was made (gasp!) in the chemical business. In fact his father got his start in the egg carton business and then acquired the patent for the “clamshell” package. From there he integrated upstream into styrene manufacturing and then bought a whole slew of other chemcial businesses.

Well, that’s not all he’s done. He built the Huntsman Cancer Institute and done countless things by way of humanitarian help. IIRC, he’s had to close some of his chemical plants due to the economy.
