Now I'm not quite sure how much is regime screw-up and cronyism...although I'm certain 5 years of mismanagement has turned the Department of Interior into another FEMA (soon we'll hear about the Gail Norton-Jack Abramoff conections...Susan Ralston, are you listening??)...or if it's the corporate media's latest big thing...since they couldn't find a white girl missing on some island or a helpless whale, a good mine disaster will fill up hours of airtime and carry that "big drama" these people live for...be it the jubilation of miners being found safe or their bodies being brought from below. It's not about the human tragedy...it's the storyline...the ability to fill up lots of hours with cheap programming that gives the impression something is being covered when it really isn't.

OSHA laws have been under relentless attack by the big business side of the Repugnican party and their Democratic party enablers for over 20 year now. We've lived a charmed life in recent years that the neglect and self-centered greed hasn't resulted in greater deaths than we know of...but then on the other hand, most of the suffering in this nation goes on silently...speaking out isn't tolerated.
