About Me

Welcome to my blog. I'm a middle aged battle axe with a bee in her bonnet about nothing in particular. Wipe your feet before you come in and keep them off of my coffee table. And, of course, you kids get the hell off of my lawn.

Big John

Every time I hear about a coal mining accident I think of this. I guess it shows my age - and how long lethal accidents have been an accepted risk of mining by the workers - the risk that management never takes. Union mines have a much better safety record than non-union mines. That is a fact. So think about that and what it means as far as the human cost of "doing business" the next time you feel the urge to bash unions.
