And yes, the coal industry is one greedy outfit...I've got family in Eastern Kentucky, I would know. We don't need you defending the coal industry on this fishing forum. They can go and spend their big money somewhere else, hopefully on property that doesn't possess a wonderful treasure like Dogwood Lake.

Why can't he defend it if the thread is about the same topic??? Just because he doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean that he can't post his opinion. Everyone needs coal, but nobody wants it mined in their particular area! Do I wish they would mine it somewhere else...sure....but then somebody else's area would be mined and they would be upset. I fish and hunt (pheasant release) there and sure hope mining doesn't happen there at all, and if it does that it doesn't mess either one of those up....BTW
