[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gee, OP, so do you have any useful ideas for how to help WV citizens improve their lives or did you just come on here to blast a particular state?

Let's please keep in mind that this state has historically been basically run by the natural resource (read: coal) companies who employ a huge percentage of workers in the state. Literally, donations by the coal companies have governed elected officials' actions, while the state itself has been decimated by the environmental ramifications of mining coal. We're talking toxic water and groundwater, major flooding that occurs in valleys (where the population is) due to mountaintop removal coal mining, terrible air pollution due to emissions from coal burning (not to mention the enormous percentage of ex-miners who now have black lung) and companies seizing private land, all so you can keep your lights on at night.[/quote]

Here's a suggestion: DIVERSIFY YOUR ECONOMY and actually INVEST in your people. Something is wrong when 3/4 of your state cashes a check by the gov't every 2 weeks.[/quote]
