Don Blankership, rightwing owner of Massey Energy, decries govt intervention

Massey's safety record should be yet another teachable moment for apathetic quasi libertarian idealists who decry the government as the evil to all things related to their individual pocketbooks.

This tragic story thoroughly invalidates their cynicism about the role of government.

At time of this posting, Blankership or his company had yet to contact the families of the deceased - but I'm sure he's in contact with lawyers.


Where have we seen this before?
