I live way far away from WV, but that crap could happen anywhere. Until we start enforcing strong regulations, and putting high-level culprits in prison, this and other dangers will occur.

Sometimes I honestly believe this country is just too dang big for its own good. We need to be agile and responsive and, even, proactive. Hard to do when you have the Kochs/ALEC, the Tea Party, Repubs, and Blue Dogs hung around our neck. They're just so much dead weight and they're truly holding this country back!
