Mourning Miners

Thank you, President Obama, for saying what you’ve said about the miners’ deaths. I’ve been maybe uncharacteristically silent on their massacre, because I’ve had no words.

The owners of Massey should be responsible, forever, for the financial well-being of all the families those miners left behind, and they should have to provide for them all on miners’ wages.

It is amazing to me that anyone could ever think companies could be responsible & not need government oversight. Massey is what you get when you even relax safety standards.
