actually, kerry might get more votes if he just came right out and said 'fuck coal.' it's 'bout time somebody did, and most in-staters are tired of the coal barons and the shit they pull with their co-conspirators in the capital.


there's an on-going war in the southern counties between coal companies and those who live there, and are affected by rapidly disappearing sources of potable water, missed economic opportunities from environmental devastation (for instance, $40,000 per mile of trout stream, which is difficult to achieve when those streams are running black or too acidic), and flooding, which would otherwise either not happen to such dangerous extents at all or be mitigated without the activity of certain industry there. etcetera, it goes on.....


so yeah, fuck coal. if nobody else'll say it.......


the people are tired of being an energy colony, and seeing nothing in return but messes we have to clean up with our own money, and having our state's beauty destroyed and permanently marred.
