		<description>thanks

en on a side of a hill. so what iam getting to is look at all the good things that come out of mining instead of all the bad things. and one more thing if you all do some day succeed in the ban of surface mining and make me lose everything ive worked hard for i hope your life is as hard as mine when your power goes out and you have no computer no phone no tv no hair dryer to dry your no water heater do give you warm water dont start bitching because you dont have this stuff becuase surface mining is the fastest way to get coal out from the hills to keep the world powered today
thank you

		<description>Ok i know that everyone has the right to voice there thoughts on everything in the world. I have been a coal miner for 3 year right out of high school. As i began my first day of work you know all i seen was a big disaster. but as my work went on i realized that if it was not for surface mining in are area there would not be no place to build home build schools build water reservoirs roads anything. what you all do is go out and take pictures of all the bad things and put in people all over the world that this is what it looks like never to be use again. i would like to invite you to here in eastern ky to see some of the prettiest land where homes where built where animals roam where you can ride horse, have farm on flat land  and most of all have power. it is so much easier to cut grass on flat land then on a side of a hill. so what iam getting to is look at all the good things that come out of mining instead of all the bad things. and one more thing if you all do some day succeed in the ban of surface mining and make me lose everything ive worked hard for i hope your life is as hard as mine when your power goes out and you have no computer no phone no tv no hair dryer to dry your  no water heater do give you warm water  dont start bitching because you dont have this stuff becuase surface mining is the fastest way to get coal out from  the hills to keep the world powered today

		<description>Mr Burrell

I agree with and am deeply touched by most of what you say here, but there is one area that I feel is a sad misinterpretation of our emotions. Why are some emotions judged to be "negative" when they are true and real expressions of how we feel? What is wrong with hating something that feels and IS obviously  an unloving act? Ignoring your true feelings so that you can "respect"  someone who is raping and pillaging gives them the message that they can continue doing this. Change doesnt occur until people get fed up with the bullshit and express it clearly.  Maybe we need to recognize that some entities that live upon this Earth do NOT have loving intent, have no intention of changing their ways and need to be told clearly that we do not like what they are doing and they need to stop. What really irks me is why do you think you need to treat those who have no respect for others with respect and dignity. How about giving them your true expression instead of mixed messages so that they can learn not to do unloving acts if they even have intent to learn here?</description>

		<description>Just read your reply. Thank you.

I am seeing a lot of positive things in recent weeks. I believe that awareness is on an increasingly sharp upper curve.

New York state has gotten in the fray with Virginia's Dominion Resources over a proposed coal fired power plant.

Massey coal has had a number of regulation decisions made against them recently.

Our prayers have helped.

		<description>Mr. Burrell...

This is beautiful...and painful.  Of all the submissions I've read here, yours spoke of that which I feel so deeply in my own soul.  The guilt and the hate eat at me, but I too realize that I must harness these negative emotions and focus them into some kind of positive response to this horror.  Thank you for putting it so eloquently into words.
