You’ll feel pretty stupid if you find out Fred contributed money to the NRTL.
Actually, you probably won’t, because fred supporters wouldn’t let consistancy ruin their day.
I'd be a bit sheepish if Thompson was found to have a) donated to the organization recently for the first time, b) had never donated to like organizations, and c) had been opposed by the organization in the past.
Since I know the answer to "C" already, I'm pretty comfortable knowing I won't be embarrassed no matter what the answers to "A" and "B" are.
