He's definitely creepy.  I would love to hear the rest of that clip from 1984; I imagine he had all sorts of scary things to say...

I followed the link in the article, never expecting to find that in the US they decimate real, proper mountains just to extract coal. I am very, very shocked to think that anyone could conceive of such an idea, nevermind a nation that could condone such activity. Shame on you America for allowing this and I sincerely hope that the campaign is successful. This is something that should be publicized worldwide as it is possibly the most shocking exploitation of the earth's natural resources I have heard of yet.

"Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we cannot eat money."

One cannot trust another human, male or female, who sports a moustache. Yes, there are exceptions, but they are few and usually found on Halloween.

I'm with you on the video. It creeps you out because it's not often we see humans without souls.

If you spot anyone with a moustache, chances are that they are planning to take over the world.

I'm 47 years old and because of my social views such as abortion I have always voted as a Republican. But I am getting sick and tired of the Republican politics of anti-regulation. They want to us to believe that the free market system will always correct (regulate) itself. It simply is not the case. We have pharmaceutical companies that will take a perfectly good drug that might cost 15.00 per month and take it off the market and replace it with one that is suppose to be better. They then will charge you $300 a month or more. Unregulated insurance companies have more say over your treatment than your own doctors. And now the deregulation of Wall Street has almost sent our economy into a depression. Deregulation has allowed all of our manufacturing jobs to go to Mexico and Asia. Meanwhile we allow no limit to illegal immigration so they can take even more jobs from us. We have to wake up and realize that no one gives a damn about us. And no one ever will not Republicans or Democrats. No one in government or big business gives a damn about the destruction of Appalachia and the poisoning of our land our water and our homes. If we are ever to be honest with ourselves we know that eventually there is only one way to fight this and get some attention. If all that the IRA ever did was to protest and sign petitions where do you think that they would be right now?
