true, I definitely noticed some frustration and nausea arising when I read a number of details in that article
I guess I still tend toward the sentimental, especially late at night
so, without saying too much about anything, I'm grateful to be fortunate enough not to have to work exposed to the conditions that cause black lung, nor have to deal with managing a company
dessert is a tricky thing, and, as a contemplative (my privilege, perhaps), I don't wish lung disease on anyone - certainly not coal miners, and not ceos of coal companies either. may both be protected, folks should never forget what they, and their families, have and continue to endure in the name of power, literal and figurative
and did I mention I have a bit of a penchant for being a bit of a cleverly confused, defensively sentimental fool at times?
(it's an interesting combination of qualities - quite the mystery!)
as the child of divorce, I prefer to avoid divisiveness whenever possible...
edit: ...and quietly, walking on eggshells, I go into the night
