Subject: RE: At least 25 dead in West Virginia mine explosion
RE: Bill's link to the Blankenship piece. All of the videos are just perfect to show up what he is like and frankly he's not so different from others in the game. It is also a fine series that shows how much coal is in bed with other business es and the the government. Its no wonder they are so hard to fight. Thanks for the great link Bill!

Reminds me as well of a guy in the AV's back in the 60's who developed a chart of "interlocking directorates" of the coal and steel industries. The chart took up an entire wall and many of th same assholes sat on the boards of several different stell, coal, electric power, etc. I remember one person was on at least 7 DIFFERENT BOARDS including Bethlehem Steel, Westmoreland coal, and Ohio Power. Anyone see a problem here?

One thing for certain.....There are 25 men dead so far and someone is at fault.
