Reply #5: Lots of things went through my mind.

[catzies]

1. I was angry that that level of poverty & despair still exists in America.

2. I was angry that coal companies exploit people & our natural resources until they pull out of a town, leaving filth, squalor & lack of opportunity in their wake.

3. I was appalled that drug abuse is still so prevalent. And I say that as someone who is pro-cannabis and anti-pharmaceuticals.

3. I was disgusted that these people probably still consider themselves "conservative" and have probably voted against their own economic interests for ears.

4. I found it interesting that this was in Mitch McConnell's state, and he probably has never lifted a finger to help any of them.

5. I'm disappointed that evangelicalism is so prevalent and these people are proably prey for TV preachers who want their money.

6. I think it's disgusting that they have no health care, no education, and no opportunities yet they smoke cigarettes through toothless lips.

7. And don't get me started on trashy tattoos.
