Colorado's miners have struggled long and hard for the right to organize and have safe working conditions.
Many have paid with their lives in this struggle.
Some were the victims of the poor safety standards that used to characterize the industry, while others died in bloody confrontations when mine owners were quick to hire private armies to confront troublesome workers.
As a liberal European journalist, I was familiar with these stories and also knew about how Europe's miners faced similar battles to improve their working lives. These struggles meant that miners have always had a special status for us left-wingers. They were a superior breed who fought for themselves and the rights of all workers.
However in my more recent journalism, I have discovered there is a new threat to miners, their families and their wider communities

Environmentalism is the druid type religion of the upper class.
"t was surprising that environmentalists would lie. . ."
You call yourself a journalist? Give me a break.

"It was surprising that environmentalists would lie..."
Hahaha! A light bulb goes off in one liberal's head.
Rich, urban environmentalists are like manor lords imagining their serfs as plump, happy peasants dancing in the green all day. "Yes, Margaret, they live a simple, bucolic life, one with nature. Pass the Chardonnay."

An ENVIRONMENTALIST is a person who makes a living out of making trouble for other people by working to restrict their rights of access and liberties to parts of our country....
Thank God I was born in the USA!
Gabriel Resources is actually a very, environmentally concerned company. The Romanians love it. They've done quite a lot to clean up the cyanide mess left by the previous Communist proprietors before it was shut down.
Their website is here:

For what it's worth, I have had a small holding of Gabriel Stock for the past year, and it's done very well. But gold is correcting at the moment; I wouldn't recommend going into that sector until maybe mid November or later.
Needless to say, no one should buy any stock without doing due diligence, as well.
Headline is incorrect. There's nothing new about it.
Druids would be offended if enviros were thought to be of them. Enviros are definitely rich b*tches, though.
That would be an average January in Fairbanks. -40 for days and even weeks is common. And that is C or F, no debate.
--I suspect that the mining companies that remain in business in the free world (after the big shakeout of the '80's and '90's) have done more environmental cleanup than any other industry group in the world--
Apt if you remember that the druids were very big into human sacrifice.
HURRAY!!!!!!!!! The no-science tree hugger looneys are having an impact on some of the people they want to 'save'. So here's the choice you over-educated-under-science lame brains: the poor of the world can get along on what a pathetic undernourished over-pest-infected fruit tree can produce, or you can help feed the poor by helping them use modern techniques. Go for it baby and make your decision....tick, tick, tick....

You may not know how very right you are! I personally know a woman whose father invented something that we all use and hence she is richer than God. They have a foundation for enviornmental causes (mega barf) and she spends her life flying around the world painting landscapes. Hasn't worked a day in her life and yet they know all there is to know about the environment and how everyone else should live...... makes me sick.
