I'm Just Quitting
‘I’m just quitting’: A scene right out of ‘Atlas Shrugged’ in Birmingham
by David McElroy
My name’s Ronnie Bryant, and I’m a mine operator…. I’ve been issued a [state] permit in the recent past for [waste water] discharge, and after standing in this room today listening to the comments being made by the people…. [pause] Nearly every day without fail — I have a different perspective — men stream to these [mining] operations looking for work in Walker County. They can’t pay their mortgage. They can’t pay their car note. They can’t feed their families. They don’t have health insurance. And as I stand here today, I just … you know … what’s the use? I got a permit to open up an underground coal mine that would employ probably 125 people. They’d be paid wages from $50,000 to $150,000 a year. We would consume probably $50 million to $60 million in consumables a year, putting more men to work. And my only idea today is to go home. What’s the use? I don’t know. I mean, I see these guys — I see them with tears in their eyes — looking for work. And if there’s so much opposition to these guys making a living, I feel like there’s no need in me putting out the effort to provide work for them. So as I stood against the wall here today, basically what I’ve decided is not to open the mine. I’m just quitting. Thank you.

Thought for the Day
"When they came for the Fourth Amendment I didn't say anything because I had nothing to hide.
When they came for the Second Amendment I didn't say anything because I wasn't a gun owner.
When they came for the Fifth and Sixth Amendments I didn't say anything because I had committed no crimes.
When they came for the First Amendment I couldn't say anything."

quote of the day
From Ace of Spades:
Of course, if a plane is hijacked with a SEAL on it, I doubt he'll be carrying a card that says, "Hi, I'm a Navy SEAL".
The SEALs I've worked with - can't wait to be on a hijacked plane.
