What makes West Virginia so different? (Clarksburg, Grafton: transfer, purchase, taxi)

Well, one thing i have to say about that is, at least she wasn't being screwed by her husband. He had his own screwees.
Nothing anyone can say to me can make me see the logic of another clintonhead in the white house. Bill got enough from U S!

I was going to comment, Ginamarie88, but your blood pressure is high enough right now...gave you 2 points to help bring it down...

Hillary chose to stay...she is coping/working with this in her own way...she's even part of it...character assasination of Paula Jones and the others...

Today bush went to saudi arabia begging for the kingdom to give him more oil on the cheap. Some odd reason they decided against it. Alaska and CT are now paying $4.00 gal for gas, and rising. Rising transportation costs are forcing farmers and truckers to raise their prices, and supermarket prices are anticipated to rise sharply.

China's dead is estimated to be 50,000 so far, with recent landslides after the earthquake, the deathtoll continues to rise. Many schools collapsed, killing all students. For each one of these families, it was their only child, as imposed by gov't population control plan going on for decade or better.

That was today. Over ten years ago you started talking about monica lewinsky, and nothing has been more important ever since?

harborlady hit it right on the head - that stuff happened over 10 years ago, so what's the deal with holding it to now?

I haven't been to War, Welch (or English) for many years. But even then, it was quite different than the northern panhandle where I grew up.

Are those towns over in mingo county? my detail maps end at huntingtonish, and the google map tries to lop cookies on me so it crashes out my net to prevent. (is google getting desperate or something? sheesh)

The Matewan Massacre Re-inactment is coming up...it's something to see in Welch, Wv.

and a comment on the Oil deal with the Saudi's...increased production is to begin in June...Why did that NOT make the news?

Don't people know that the oil companies adjust the price daily...production will not have much effect....India and China are paying the same price for oil that we are...its global. And GM and Ford are to share the blame for putting us into cars with individual point of use transportation instead of public conveyance.

I still see the busses traveling empty..things aren't really bad yet.

I remember when Nixon removed the price controls and the economy went haywire with increases...
Durable goods are relative...Gold is up...Oil carries a real value as do food stuffs...the answer is to print less money.
State and Federal government is lovin' it...gasoline taxes are indexed to the gallon cost...they are making a killing on us.

No, they're in McDowell County, I believe.

Those southern counties saw war and the ravages of war..and they still haven't completely healed. My uncle was a mine superintendant down there and wore a .45 colt peacemaker under his coat in a shoulder holster until the day he retired..
