Why provide funding to companies will millions (maybe billions) in profits?

]]> Comment on MET Siegfried and Jay Hunter Morris by Dina Gattina http://ithinkmining.com/2011/11/05/met-siegfried-and-jay-hunter-morris/#comment-7911 Thu, 31 May 2012 02:57:48 +0000 http://ithinkmining.com/?p=6269#comment-7911 Agree with all the above comments about JH Morris. I have heard many recordings of the Ring and saw a wonderful SF Opera production in 1985 (debut of James Morris as Wotan, first ever!) and I have always HATED the character and the 3rd opera in the cycle. JH Morris managed to illuminate the character of Siegfried in a way that made him under understandable and sympathetic. And his lyrical, beautiful singing…well, I loved every moment of this production. I thought Siegfried’s death scene was marvelously acted, and so touching I began to tear up. It was so wonderful that his role was captured in HD for posterity!

If you’re a nice guy and still like rocks then become a Geologist.
Geologists drink beer and are generally pretty good people. The engineers I have worked with are usually assholes.

]]> Comment on Smelly Anti-Coal-Mining Protests by Keep mining in BC http://ithinkmining.com/2012/05/25/smelly-anti-coal-mining-protests/#comment-7894 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:59:09 +0000 http://ithinkmining.com/?p=8030#comment-7894 There have been plenty of public consultations, open houses and information provided on this project. The core issues are the usual environmentalist propaganda related to blowing whatever they can think of out of proportion. I’ve read letters to the editor in various VI publications and they always say that ARD is going to wipe out marine life, the noise is going to make the deer deaf, the dust is going to give all the kids black lung. The populace is content in their ignorance and want to say no to an industry that has supported their stardard of living since the 1800s.
As for the lessons to be learned, there is a strong need to combat this ignorance at every turn. The mining associations of this province need to launch an all-out media education campaign to combat the environmental ngo lies, and half truths. That and challenge these ngos in court when they make defamatory and untrue statements.
