And miracle of miracles, some of those elected officials actually listened to their constituents and voted against mining, even though the officials personally approved of it. Democracy sometimes works--esp when local elected officials follow the will of their constituents and don't take orders from or make backroom deals with the out-of-state (occasionally out-of-country) mining companies.Anony Toonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-23047189807425929492012-08-27T12:21:23.955-05:002012-08-27T12:21:23.955-05:00To Anon 5:07: Google sets up that pesky system, no...To Anon 5:07: Google sets up that pesky system, not me.
