It's so sad to think that one person can bring so much horror to a landscape.

We could build a giant space station and all move to it, then grind up the whole planet for raw materials. Then we would just need someone to sell it to. I will let Ramsey know if I find a potential buyer. Hey you know what we could do? We could build a giant space station and all move to it, then grind up the whole planet for raw materials.

Well, the answer is "NO" - Ron Ramsey would sell us all and his mother out for another dime added to either his political campaign or political action committee treasury! Tennesseans all across the Volunteer State need to ask why coal mining headquarters and sales centers (e.g. the Ukrainian giant industry Metinvest d.b.a. United Coal Company) are just recently located into Ramsey's Sullivan County - which to my knowledge does not have any working coal mines - or related coal industry businesses (e.g. New Tech Mining) are hiring in Blountville for a non-union work force to work in West Virginia underground coal mines. Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey likes to give the impression that mountain top removal (strip mining) is necessary for both Tennesseans to be able to "flip on a light switch" and how strip mining a great nation importance for our energy independence that coal companies to be able extract U.S. coal reserves by any means possible. What Ramsey isn't telling anyone on the campaign trail is that his buddies at United Coal Company were already EXPORTING about half of the mined UCC coal or that he was a featured keynote speaker at the 2008 Eastern Coal Conference Convention in Kingsport (btw, the 2010 Eastern Coal Conference Convention is scheduled during May)... Metinvest is a giant Ukrainian coal and steel corporation that is busy buying up U.S. based coal reserves with the intent of extracting these Appalachian coal deposits at the lowest cost possible and then EXPORTING this Appalachian coal to Metinvest industires based in Eastern Europe.
