I raise my hands to P.S. This action maybe construed to the saying that the “the ways justifies the means” attitude of politicians and businessmen. Thanks for sharing. I am heading out to the blog to check it out. Regards.

I feel you. I will be thinking of you and the people of your community. If you read below we are dealing with similar things here. Until it happened to us, I never thought things went on like this in America. Blessed be.

Our way of life in the Appalachia mountains is being destroyed. At the hands of people that think they can do whatever they want without a care for our livelihood. The mountains that we grew up being proud of are being torn apart and left for dead. The waters we used to enjoy fishing in are being polluted and buried. People’s drinking water is being poisoned. Not only are communities being forced out of their homes they are being destroyed. These are people’s homes. They worked hard to pay for. Who gives ANYBODY the right to come in and ruin it for a dollar? Whatever the reason it’s wrong. This is supposed to be a free country but our homes and land aren’t safe here in WV. The coal companies do whatever they what without a thought of the impact of what they are doing here. We should have the choice to leave or not. Not forced out or deal with UNLIVABLE conditions because somebody wants to sell coal. These beautiful mountains are our heritage. Not just a few have been destroyed. Hundreds and they are destroying more! The impact of blasting off the tops of theses mountains is not safe for any living creature trying to survive near them. Is that worth it because it’s supposed to be easier and cheaper the coal companies? When is it going to stop? It’s ok in America to steal from people because it creates jobs? Come on!?!?! This practice has created fewer jobs. It’s ok to destroy miles and miles and miles and miles of land that will ultimately create unsuitable living conditions for a few bucks for them? Really???? We all might as well pack up and give what we worked for to the coal companies. But, where to go? If it’s ok here, where is a safe place to live? You must help put a stop to this. We look to our government officials to serve and protect. When are they going to start protecting us???

I work for a marina in Hampton, Virginia. There is a significant amount of oils, fluids and chemicals that run off and leech into the creek, and the surrounding water table. I contacted the OSHA concerning the leaking vehicles and the chemicals that spill into the creek, that is used by the marina…to no avail, they stated that because the place mentioned was not on federal land, there is nothing they will do….It never ceases to amaze me, as to how the buck is passed in the country….protocols are issued, and then nothing is done, because of red-tape…. and you know it….I would like to see something done about this place, before it gets way out of hand, and there is a fire or something as a result of the leakage…
