These last few days I really haven’t been in the blogosphere very much or even on this blog for that matter. I had to step back and refocus on the task of spreading the word about mountaintop removal. My posts went from informative to borderline ridiculous.
Ask anybody that knows me and they will tell you I am quick to say what is on my mind - usually regardless of the consequences. Except in the case where speaking my mind would directly hurt someones feelings, I won’t do that. If I feel strongly enough about a subject I literally can’t shut up about it. I think in posting about MTR on this site, I let myself get too passionate. Like I said in an earlier post or comment or something - I don’t like a bully and all this nonsense with mountaintop removal and the friends of coal make me think of a bully. Although they haven’t attacked me directly, they have attacked the collective intelligence of all my friends and neighbors. So naturally, being that I am somewhat outspoken, I felt the need to strike back. I think I get that from my Mom. She’s a feisty 5 foot redhead and believe me you do not want to cross her.
Anyway - I’ve gotten my second wind and will be returning to more informative posts about mountaintop removal. I will guarantee you this, if the friends of coal attack me or my neighbors I will strike back with the only weapon at my disposal - the ability to write a blog. In other words, you’re still liable to hear me rant from time to time.
