Mountain Top Removal, West Virginia
Sam Martin recently went on a Mountain Top Removal Tour in West Virginia. He sends this observation:
Well, I’m back from the WV MTR tour. I didn’t realize the extent of the destruction. It’s very sad, a bone-marrow, ancestral sadness. Grandparents can’t take their grandkids on hikes when they get big enough because the mountains aren’t there. Memories without places to rest. …The memories of the children will be the smell of diesel exhaust and the whispering of Mom and Dad at the kitchen table late at night.
To which I can only add “No sh*t, Calhoun.”
Thanks, Sam.
