And supporting hateful policies. Oh, I'm sure it was a merely business decision bottom line sort of a thing for him - but
nonetheless a bad thing with ramifications FAR beyond lessening regulations for the coal industry. Look at this
situation at the border.
I don't hate the guy - not grave dancing. He may have been an "otherwise" good man. The fact that some of his family
went with him is tragic. However, if death closes his checkbook, so be it. We all die.

Let's REMBER him well. His good deeds may outweigh his bad, you'd have to ask St. Peter.

I seriously have my doubts........................while he was at his 33,000 square foot mansion in Florida or on his 205 foot yacht, did he bring any of the underground miners on these trips.............................I doubt it................
