It's hard being a coal miner. It's a thankless, risky, health-wrecking job, but a lot of wonderful West Virginians have been going into the mines for generations so that you and I can have electricity to run our gadgets. My dislike for coal companies and their business model, especially Massey and its CEO Don Blankenship, is no secret, but I don't begrudge the hard-working miners their lifestyle one bit. Those people are heroes and today is a sad day in mountains of southern West Virginia. Keep those brave people and their families in your thoughts.
