Funny how conservatives who claim they love America remain silent while the Appalachian Mountains are being leveled, and many of them even CHEER and DEFEND the rapists like Massey Coal, and Peabody Coal.
Tell me DY, is it that you don't think, or you can't think?
It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.

No one denied that the Kennedys have done much good for America. But you also have to remember that you said they did more good than any other family, and made that remark in a thread you created slamming conservatives. Then you threw a hissy fit when someone pointed out the ill done by the Kennedys in addition to their good work.

I might be pissed because I consumed a pleasant bottle of wine or if I'd spent the evening downing half the daily output of the Guinness brewery in Dublin, but I can't see how one could get pissed on a shortage or an over supply of dentists. We dont actually have a shortage of dentists in the UK, nor do we have any worse teeth than Americans but, by the same token, we do not share with you the same childish obsession with teeth.

Just round about Hong Kong. The Hong Kong that tourists dont see. (I did not take them myself obviously. That would entail mastery of a mechanical device of inestimably greater complexity than a matchbox which is my limit.)

My brother spent time in and loved Hong Kong. He marveled that people never see or hear about the areas outside the urban sprawl.

I don't cheer when strip mining is used. You must cheer when families can't heat their homes or pay their electric bills.

I never cheer when people are abused. Coal country has been one of the poorest for decades. Coal is not a job creator, it is a community and people killer.

I never cheer when land or people are abused.
West Virginia is poor because its been controlled by Democrats for decades. Without coal it would simply be poorer. Thousands of West Virginians work in the coal industry. Their paychecks and company profits built many communities there. The guy that owns the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia made his money in the coal industry. Which brings up another beautiful image of America:

The Impact of Coal on the Kentucky State Budget
Executive Summary
Rapid and dramatic changes in the world’s approach to energy have major implications for Kentucky and its coal industry. Concerns about climate change are driving policy that favors cleaner energy sources and increases the price of fossil fuels. The transition to sustainable forms of energy is becoming a major economic driver, and states are moving aggressively to develop, produce and install the energy technologies of the future. Long reliant on coal for jobs and electricity, Kentucky faces major challenges and difficult choices in the coming years.
These energy challenges come in the midst of Kentucky’s state fiscal crisis and sluggish economic performance. The gap between Kentucky’s revenues and expenditures makes it increasingly difficult to sustain existing public services. A recent University of Kentucky report notes that Kentucky ranks 44th among states in per capita income, just as in 1970, while other southern states like North Carolina and Georgia have out-performed the Commonwealth in recent years.1 Eastern Kentucky still includes 20 of the 100 poorest counties in the United States measured by median household income.2
In this critical energy, fiscal and economic context, it is increasingly important for Kentuckians to understand the role and impact of coal in our state. Coal provides economic benefits including jobs, low electricity rates and tax revenue. But the coal industry also imposes a number of costs ranging from regulatory and public infrastructure expenses to environmental and health impacts.
Coal and the Budget
The Impact of Coal on the Kentucky State Budget tells one aspect of the story of coal’s costs and benefits. The report provides an analysis of the industry’s fiscal impact by estimating the tax revenues generated by coal and the state expenditures associated with supporting the industry. We estimate for Fiscal Year 2006 Kentucky provided a net subsidy of nearly $115 million to the coal industry (see Figure 1).
Coal is responsible for an estimated $528 million in state revenues and $643 million in state expenditures. The $528 million in revenues includes $224 million from the coal severance tax and revenues from the corporate income, individual income, sales, property (including unmined minerals) and transportation taxes as well as permit fees. The $643 million in estimated expenditures includes $239 million to address the industry’s impacts on the coal haul road system as well as expenditures to regulate the environmental and health and safety impacts of coal, support coal worker training, conduct research and development for the coal industry, promote education about coal in the public schools and support the residents directly and indirectly employed by coal. Total costs also include $85 million in tax expenditures designed to subsidize the mining and burning of coal.

So? The Kentucky state government spends more on coal then the taxes the revenue generates. That says nothing about coal's impact on the economy. All it says is their tax structure is a bit out-of whack.
If that's the sole basis for your argument, then you must also argue that all public transportation should be banned.

No, coal is a loser. It destroys communities, states, our environment and human beings. The sooner we end this crime against humanity the better.

That's merely your opinion that has no basis in fact. Otherwise you'd be able to produce it instead of claiming that tax revenue "proves" your theory, or simply repeating your opinion.
