Has our useless media pointed out the Canadian Miner...

[slor]

success? Have these even made a comparison with our own disaster? Now I know, it is far more important to discuss Kerry's "elitist" phonecall from Davos, but could they not take the time to point out the disparity between these 2 events?

2. CNN had it on yesterday....

3. Was The Mine Unionized?

I've been trying to get an answer to that.

Obviously the mine conditions were better than what existed in Kentucky and West Va...as there were supplies of air and other survival supplies that the men were able to locate quickly. I would imagine Canadian standards are a lot different than what exists in this country now.

4. other than that they were rescued--I have heard very little.

5. The operator of that mine

is Mosaic, a U.S. company based in Minnesota. It's the largest Potash mining company in the world.

"The company boasts one million consecutive work-hours without lost time due to injury at its mines, which include two other potash operations in Saskatchewan."

6. But didn't you hear?

Amber Frey is still answering questions about that book she wrote. You just don't recognize a news story when you see one, do you?

7. No. They don't want anyone to focus on admin. anti-regulation and pro-

corporation stance on all economic issues. That's why you have Ken Lay facing a jury right now. But i get the feeling that the jury fix is in.
