BackWoods Drifter

Yesterday I wrote a post describing my plans to back off in my battle against mountaintop removal coal mining. Today I am recanting that statement.

There will be no threat you can make that will cause me to back off. I feel like a weakling for even considering it. You can email me all you want, put as many signs in front of my house as you want and for every one of each of those, you will cause me to only work harder.

The coal industry can run helter skelter through this state thinking they can do whatever the hell they want. This is my house and my property, if you come here looking for trouble I can guarantee you will find it. As far as the grassroots and environmental organizations around here, I can create a big enough stir without their help – thank you very much.

The BackWoods Drifter is officially declaring war on the coal industry with the prime targets being Massey Energy, the friends of coal, and their ignorant leader – Don Blankenship. Donny boy – you have made an enemy here that will not rest until I see you broken. I would seriously suggest you keep your flunkies at bay or we will make national news, that much I promise. I didn’t name this blog the BackWoods Drifter for nothing – you don’t have to come to me because from now on I am coming to you. If you were trying to push my buttons you have succeeded. The mistake on your part was pushing the button that says IGNITION.

If you are in favor of mountaintop removal coal mining no matter where you live, you are my enemy and I would just as soon not be affiliated with you. For anybody to condone mountaintop removal coal mining, in my book – you are the scum of the Earth.

If you are reading this post and thinking damn he’s pissed – believe me, you have no idea. So think about that before you email me again.

btw – Have A Great Day!
