Yea it is a shame how government will not listen to us. Makes ya want
to scream at tax time, "No taxation without representation". Point in
fact. George Bush has changed the laws that govern how and when a coal
company can dump refuse into a public stream. He does not care what
damage it does as long as the coal flies. I did not really care about
nor did I ever consider what damage was being done until I did a
little "Non-PHD" study. Alot of it is listed as
http://wvcoalhistory.com/reclaim.html
. I need to add more onto that web page as I find time. If a nut like
Ole Rob can find scientific proof of the ecological devastation, why
cant they? McDowell County was the largest coal producting county in
the state at one time, once the coal was removed and the tax dollars
were sent to Charleston and DC, the companies moved out and the county
collapsed. Government no longer cares for the people of that county.
Once it had 3 hospitals in Welch, now they are lucky to have the one.
"No taxation without representation" was the cry heard as Ole Georges
tea was tossed into Boston Harbor. We are not represented in
government today, only corporations and the rich are
represented. ...Ole Rob
