May God bless those who gave their lives for their families and brothers. The slow dig is the most painful.

The big shot owners of that company should be hauled before congress and questioned mercilessly about their malfeasance. Possibly they should serve time in prison, and not a club fed but a real prison with the big crazy people.

They should be sentenced to work in a coal mine with no safety regulations.

^ Punishment would then fit the crime. Plus they toil @ miner’s wages. You know, the wage management/owners weep over each and every time the union clears their throat.

The coal industry consumes it’s workers for the profits of a few fat rich guys. I know this to be true, my father was a coal miner.

charlie555: I hate the politicizing of death.
When death happens needlessly, it IS political.

Another 39 men died because of our refusal to accept the vast superiority of nuclear power. We could become free of dependence on oil producers. We could become energy independent. We could emulate the French, Japanese etc into moving to the 21st Century.

I’ve been in that part of the world, and DrCanuck is right. Furthermore, they fall into “ghetto thinking,” where someone who escapes becomes a traitor. I met a West Virginian who got into college on a football scholarship, and his family and friends turned on him. They wanted him to give it up and go into the mines. He got out, but at a cost.
And remember West Virginia so horrified Kennedy when he campaigned there that it helped trigger the War on Poverty. It’s still terribly poor.
