Miner's Memorial to be Protested???

[Corinna]

I hope no press for it .aldso hope the local law enforcement keeps them away like the press after the goof up on the news.

THAT is horse crap.....

Corinna, it wasn't the press that goofed up on how many were dead.

There are always groups that are willing to exploit any situation to their own purposes. The best we can do is ignore them entirely.

Well, I don't know what "god" they believe in but it sure isn't the one I do!

[Corinna]

It was the press listening in on a closed conversation and drew the wrong conclutions and ran to beat the others and it snowballed from there.

[Cubby'sMom]

I can't believe that! No memorial for the poor souls from the mine, as well as the victims of 9/11?! Outrageous, but Karen is right. the best we can do is ignore them, therefore we won't be feeding into them.

Corinna,

It wasn't the news media's fault. It was the stupid suits at the mining company who, after finding out the miners were not alive, failed to alert the media until after they went to press.

I am a harsh critic of the news media, having worked for a newspaper. But they are not to be blamed in this instance.

As far as those idiot protestors are concerned, I hope they get NO media attention whatsoever so the families can grieve in peace.
