Commentary from Northwest Arkansas

Plenty more miners where they came from?

Another damn coal mine cave-in, this time in Utah.

Will we have more wringing of hands and "hearings" in Congress that amount to nothing?

There were hearings on mine safety after the cave-ins a few years ago.

Nothing has changed.

The words of Charlton Heston at the end of "Planet of the Apes" come to mind right now. There is nothing I can add to that.
