My god, these people who are coal mining and stripping Kayford Mountain are just plain sick. Whay is wrong with them? I know that sounds like a lame question, but isn’t that what it comes down to? If we do not come together as one and realize we are literally destroying our planet… OUR HOME….we will be destroying ourselves as well. You can compare it to a virus in your body that you need to eradicate. You go to the doctor to get rid of it. The people who are stripping our land like this are the equivalent of a virus! STOP THE MOUNTAINTOP STRIPPING!!

Bad Bad news!!! The problem is they have too much money which they payoff to the politicians and the politicians “laugh” all the way to the bank. Very sad!
