white people graveyards are just the most recent issue. these bastards have been steadily destroying indian rockhouses and burial grounds.

denny you are damn straight there is a place where the draw the line. it is at the break even point. anything that makes money is ethical, anything that doesn’t make money is unethical. until it makes money.

something is wrong with folks whose morals are prescribed by market conditions. that goes for every one involved, and perhaps it shows us a path by which to resolve this contradiction, starting with labor first.

Denny, great post. This just goes to show that “coal kills,” even after ones dead, it keeps killing. It’s overkill. The complete cycle kills. From cradle to grave, and then some.

I think it is insane to even consider mining under a graveyard. It shows clearly the coal industry will go to any length to make a buck. If they will do this it makes one wonder, is there any point at which the coal industry will draw the line?

Denny – thanks for posting this. An eye-opening example to help people understand the choke hold that the coal industry has on our communities.

I’ve talked to pastors who have been threatened by the coal thugs. I know of small churches where coal bosses are members and threaten to withhold their tithing if the pastor speaks out against MTR.

In this case I’m particularly perplexed by the pastor’s statement “economic and Biblical ramifications were considered.” We know what the economic ramifications are. What are the Biblical ramifications? My Bible says that God will destroy those who destroy the earth. I’m sure that also applies to graves that are in the earth. I’m just dumbfounded!
