Reply #92: It was citizens' action groups in West Virginia that caught the attention of . . .

[Petrushka]

. . . Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. . . . citizens' action groups comprised of people such as
my friends and neighbors---as well as my husband and I---back home in West Virginia.
In case you haven't heard, most miners (sorry to say) and their union have always
helped the coal operators fight us. Nationalization of the coal mines wouldn't change
anything but the pecking order when the name of the game is Money.

As for your accusation that I'm "...spouting the same talking points that Rush Limbaugh
and all of Fox News commentators cackle on about.", I'd have to listen to Limbaugh
and watch Fox News to figure out what in the hell you're talking about before deciding
if it was worth wasting time defending myself.

In any case: If anything was changed by the nationalization of the Codelco mines in Chile,
I can't see it. It looks, now, like some Chilean people are exploiting other Chilean people
in that same dog-eat-dog world. And, so it goes: nationalization playing out like a game of
musical chairs.

Since your arguments and propaganda haven't convinced me that nationalizing the mines is a
good thing, I won't take up any more of your time. I won't be back. (It's National Poetry
Month and I haven't written today's poem yet.)

Take care!
