Anyone against it should have to live in our shoes for a while. My dad is a miner, all of his brothers are miners, his dad was a miner, his dad was a miner, so on and so forth, my mom's dad was a miner, all of his brothers were miners, his dad was a miner, his dad was a miner, and so on and so forth yet again. Some of us here in Eastern Kentucky have it pretty bad now with our money coming in from the mining industry but without it there wouldn't be enough jobs here for a tenth of the population and even MORE people would leave the area. I won't even go into where America would be with coal mining. I can't speak for all Americans. I can speak for myself and say that I wouldn't have half of what I do without my dad mining.
