Orr, or should I call you Mr. Country? Thank you so much for the laugh. I needed it. I don't even know where to start. But here goes. I don't hate you, and did not imply that I do. Sorry if you thought that. I've never met you. We may get along great in person for all I know. Maybe we could have a beer sometime and I could learn your real name? And yes I am a part of that extorsionist union that is the heart and soul of the mining industry here. They are so crooked for spending their entire summers every 3 or 4 years fighting to keep the retired miner parents of myself as well as so many others from getting their healthcare permanently gutted to maintain the ungodly salary raises of the corporate CEO's who are clearly just trying to feed their families. You see we have unions because these people at the top do not care about you, me, or anyone else who has worked for them. They only care about our labor. And as they get richer, their egos get thicker. So how am I suppose to trust them to care about our land and water? The place where I, and perhaps you, have grown up our whole lives. We got the EPA right? Well, as you have pointed out, they screw up too. All the more reason to worry. A screw up is unacceptable in this case, period. Further regarding your opinion of my union, you may wanna switch to that incompetent paper in Virginia where they "mistakingly" print scabs for hire ads and anonymous complaints in the hard copy paper itself instead of actual news such as the story be argued about here. I could keep going, but i'll let you have another word if you wish. I'm optimistic we can be buddies Orr. Lets have a beer. It's the ranger way!
