Blair Mountain in West Virginia is the site of a 1921 pitched battle between coal miners and 3000 lawmen and strikebreakers that actually included aerial bombing of the miners. This battle is the most famous in the mine wars that took place in the coalfields as the UMWA organized the mines against the violent opposition of mine owners. Today it is on the verge of being blasted out of existence by those mine operators.

Yeah, we know it's been awhile, but sometimes life gets in the way. Whadda ya do? On this episode of the podcast, we take a look at one of the rarest things in the country: listening to each other. We talk about the recent Trump supporters' rally in D.C., at which protesting Black Lives Matter folks were invited to take the stage and explain a bit about themselves. After some initial boos and heckling, the crowd quieted down and listened respectfully to the BLM speakers, with the result being that both sides gained a new understanding of the other. They even shook hands and posed for pictures with each other. A good lesson for the rest of us. Then we talk about the importance of self-reliance in Appalachia, a skill that is sadly lacking nowadays, leading to dependence and despair and, to a large part, the drug crisis. Speaking of drugs, what happens when an individual gets high and goes into an East Tennessee Walmart? A mouth full of bug spray and an arrest for drug possession...we talk about the ups and downs of hornet killer as a party starter!
