Rocky rocks against coal 1

Consider the following:

  • Rocky Anderson, maverick mayor of Salt Lake City, is awesome.
  • The Beatles are awesome.
  • Coal is the enemy of the human race.

Consider, further, whether this might be the greatest story you've ever read in your entire life.

    "Blackbird" was a "smash"?It is a very good song, of course, but something more of a sleeper, I think, never quite a smash.
    As for the story, while it would be untrue to say it is the greatest story I have ever read, I certainly agree that it is a most happy one.  Plus, it is short, which counts for a great deal.
    It would be useful to know what it means to knock coal in Utah right now, just a couple of months after a miserable mining disaster.  Presumably the general anti-coal sentiment is running pretty high.

    Chickens are our cousins! So are fish! So are other sentient animals! Let us learn to be kind.
