  • I grew up in Eastern Ky! This planet isn't so different than a living, breathing thing! We eat, drink and do things every day that are bad for our bodies which can and do put us in an early grave. This planet is going to die one day just like every living breathing thing does! Death is a fact and a part of life for all of us! There are many ways we could be causing the early demise of earth.

  • But is that to say we shouldn't be concerned that we're causing our earth to have an early death?

    Would you force a loved one to eat greasey food every day until they had a heart attack, saying oh well, that's life and death?

    It is about owning up and taking responsibility for the health of this earth.

  • ...well you can thank the U.S. govt for this pall-'maul' mining ops:When Clinton shut-down further expansion of coal extraction in Utah/Wyoming(for his pal Ryoti over in the colossus Indonesian Coal whole-island removal payola parlay). This shifted the western U.S. coal extraction focus back to the Smokey Mountain States & guys like NYC mayor Bloomberg who shut-down NYC coal power(a fake 'green' phony-op)forcing up-state hydro-power down to NYC: causing Western NYState to now expand coal power!

    dumbass rednecks prevent literacy

  • @fuckyamountains God doesn't have any say in what we do. Just like how he sits idly by why innocent people suffer. Stupid redneck.

  • Mountain Top Removal....PREVENTS FOREST FIRES!!:-).

    Coal keeps the lights on!!!!!

  • @fuckyamountains I can't believe you even have the balls to say that. Seems like God would have just said, "Take all these mountains and blast them apart and destroy the land and the homes of your neighbors. Poison the water and the children. I didn't mean to put those mountains there anyways. My mistake."

  • @1rewd1 Just what the world needs more of.....

  • @fuckyamountains And no, that phrasing "the valleys will be filled" is more a metaphor for the empty feeling (valley) of the soul will be filled with God's love.

  • @fuckyamountains

    Valleys filled in such a way that it is not only a detriment to the natural wildlife but also to the health of the people who live in the surrounding areas? The streams in those valleys contaminated with coal dust and sludge, then they go down to the wells, where families get their drinking water... And thus become sick. And all the while coal company administration deny the connections of sickness and will not take responsibility.

  • Isn't it said somewhere in the bible that in the end, the valley's will be filled??? Think about it!

  • Strip malls and prisons ....
