In the 1960's our Almost Heaven West Virginia, stopped strip mining! Now my family can no longer drink the water! When I was a child every home, had there own FREE Pure Drinking water well. Now we must buy city water that has been treated with clorine and other chemical so that it is drinkable. A neighbor in her family home has salt water comming out of her tap! there is no city water for her to pipe into her home. She must even purchase water to bath in. The stream that we waided in and swam in as children is now orange and black with the by products of the mines. No longer is strip mining against the law! We can thank the wonderful government for changing the fact that now it is considered "Fill" not against the eco laws. Lets us just dump that fill here in this 'holler' Won't matter to any of them hillbillies. They can't tell the difference anyway. You do not care that the miners get BLACK LUNG, they don't madder much anyway. And the mine owners can just keep on shoveling in the money! One day, children will only see pictures of the real beauty that surrounded us daily. A W Va. native going back to the 1700's.
