Why don't these people go march in Pennsylvania, West Virginia or some other place where the coal is produced to really bring attention to this problem. Oh, that's right, they only like to march in places where they have like minded people who share their same opinion. That, and the coal miners in one of those coal producing states may kick them back to the commune. Let Coos Bay be a port for exporting and importing fossil fuels. The hippies in the state capitol already banned fishing and timber export, so why not let them run something through the port to keep it in business.

Great... now the CL grammar/spelling cop has infested mainstream media in search of a larger audience. 007, go back to R&R and stay there. Let people attempt to speak with out you pointing out a minor detail and attempt to create an issue. We all understood the message, and forgive the grammatical errors, so should you. As with a majority of your posts, it is your conduct that is hard to forgive. Go "Get a grip"

seahawk-- their= relating to them or themselves especially as possessors. There= in or at that place. They're= they are. Cloth= a pliable material made usually by weaving. Clothes= garments for the body. Socialism=a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.It is never too late to learn these words- how they are used and exactly what they mean. Otherwise, you sound like an ignoramus!

i wonder if they realize that protesting doesn't work. it's 2013 and no one gives a damn what they think as long as there is money to be made. and by causing a huge traffic jam they made tons of people use up more fossil fuels..they need to get a life.

YA they should be able to stand up and say what they want but they forgot ONE thing, the idiots voted for socialism, Looks like they forgot how to wash there colths too.
