I confess as a kid, I once thought about hopping aboard a slow-moving train. But I can honestly say I never considered climbing aboard a coal car. And I was 14 at the time, not 25.

Yeesh.

"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted." ~ Barack Hussein Obama.

Sadly, too late to save this nice couple from a horrible death.

You see people, this is why we should ban coal and use natural energy.

I don’t get this story at all. Riding in a coal car would be messy as heck. And are you sleeping in it to the point where you don’t notice the darn thing (or others around you) is being unloaded?

Some plants unload coal cars by clamping them to a section of track that then roates the car upside down, but I guess it didn’t make any difference. They were killed in any event.

I can’t imagine being buried under a ton of stuff from a coal train.

Although I can envision being buried under a ton of discs from Coltrane.

There’s the proof for the odumbocrats — the coal industry kills.

They must have been pretty bad all year long if all they got in their stockings for Christmas was coal...

At least they died doing the thing they love most.

How many people are able to do that?

My grandfather hopped trains and saw the entire US and made some money boxing after he was kicked out of school. (He survived). Of course, that was when men had to take risks as little children, so the real idiots like the above were weeded out in the Darwinian sense.

Granted—freak accidents did not mean a person is an idiot-—I am just using hyperbole. Risk is essential to build character—courage—common sense. Some will be unlucky—it is life.

Marxists are trying to destroy the patriarchy—men—through the feminist movement (Friedan=Communist) and homosexuality (Hays=Communist and pederast and sodomized as boy (learned)). That is why all boys are made to sit and conform and vilified if they move (Prussian system of education for mass conformity and mass indoctrination) and all competitive sports are eliminated or everyone gets trophies so “excellence” is killed and discouraged.

Marxism (our school curricula) forces the elimination of a worldview where there is a God—there is Supra Positive law—Objective Truth—which is the basis of Rule of Law (a standard of jurisprudence which is antithetical to Barney’s filthy habits—arbitrary laws based on nonsense and lies about nature, instead of “God’s Laws”. )

Character has to be habituated-—practiced. Schools habituate disrespect for parents by teaching ideas that parents disagree with. They condition children into believing lies about nature-—Heather has two mommies. This cognitive dissonance given to young children prevent a foundation for logic and reason and formation of moral character. You get hedonists/marxists useful idiots—ACORN type thinkers.

Gee, that’s a high price to pay for just hopping a train.

Hobos in the depression did it all the time. Most of them made it to the Big Rock Candy Mountain alive.
