it bugs me what he said and i'll tell you why : i believe that self appointed intellectuals determine that we live in a free country and anyone can do anything they want. however, i think that someone who has laboured in a mine for a decade or two has rather limited abilities and prospects to join the new economy. i don't expect a mine to necessarily stay open to accomodate everyone in a town that needs a job, but if there is manipulation to keep the cost of this commodity lower, than these miners have in fact been screwed.

<From my college days, I remember the quote; "Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" which was written by a very little mind. Don't remember who said that- Rarebird perhaps?> Thanks for the compliment, but it was Ralph Waldo Emerson, one of the great humanistic transcendental minds of America. I suppose his mind wasn't small enough to remain a Minister. He got excommunicated after that Divinity School Address at Harvard.
