Yeah, those poor bastards. Makes me think of Loretta Lynn's song "Coal Miner's Daughter."

We always called that song 'Coal MONKEY'S Daughter'. Never quite figured out why a monkey would be in a coal mine.

A horrible job.

Makes me think of Janis Joplin singing Me and Bobby Mcgee.
They just level the whole mountain top now instead of building shafts, and throw the toxic leftovers into the nearest valley.

Yup, that comment confirms it Dr G. - nothing good comes from mining except misery, destruction and death.

We have failed miserably at being stewards of the earth, by allowing greedy bastards to destroy it right before our apathetic eyes.
