My heart goes out to those poor families.

The thing about people in WV (I'm Pittsburgh born and raised but my daddy grew up in WV and a lot of our family lives down there) is that the money isn't going to help. These people aren't going to know what to do with it and it isn't going to help them grieve, the best thing for these families would be for the mine company to show compassion and make sure they are taken care of, not make them millionaires. There was a woman being interviewed on tv and she said "I know people think we're dumb, but we love our families." I found that statement so heartbreaking. To me it defines the people of WV (I don't think they're dumb by any means though).
