Marsh Fork Elementary Dem. 1 of 2 (mislabeled opening title)

[otaku3175]

the only problem I have with this is the fact that the coal mine has been right beside the school for as long as I can remember, and people are just now thinking this might not be good for the kids. Maybe they should have gotten off the butts decades ago and done something about it then.

These people are SO stupid you do not care anything about Marsh Fork Elementary. If you did you would realize if there was no surface mining over half of the kids at the school would live in poverty. Have you been on silo sight I know many of them that work up there and it is NOT anymore dangerous than your mouth running. And by the way my husband is the one who has blasted most of the sight up there.

Prove you don't like Surface Mining

Turn off your lights

"residents of coal mining communities have a 70 percent increased risk for developing kidney disease; a 64 percent increased risk for developing chronic pulmonary disease like emphysema; and are 30 percent more likely to report hypertension."

if you think it's okay to subject children to this than you're sick.

not all electricity comes from coal power.  mine doesn't.

Uneducated freaks. The teachers that work at Marfork Elementery say they have no problem with the mines. So there.

[bloodymountain]

its not about the problem its about the choice to have no potential problem.

Wind power and solar power are both cost prohibitive forms of energy. For you stupid hippies that means it costs to much to operate such sources of energy.

[endofsuburbia]

How about starting with conservation then? Let's shut some lights off.

[alchea]

really? i get wind and hydro power through the grid and it only cost 3 cents more per k/hour. the more popular it becomes (and less popular that coal becomes), the cost will even out.

Peace and love- even to you- proud to be one supporting the citizens of West Virginia in their quest to build those children of Marsh Fork a new safe school in their community. That is what the whole protest was about. And they had no reason to taser me- I was just a photographer/ protester- there in support- peacefully protesting. :)

[MrDanielLoomis]

Fucking hippies. They should have tasered them too.

[berrylongleaf]

Wow- what a narrow minded view Mr. Loomis.

[MrDanielLoomis]

They should taser your ass too. Fucking hippie.

[kwahaddi]

God Bless the protestors for standing up for us all!!
