    That conservatives have mostly ignored that crime which is mountain-top removal mining is a scandal. In 2002 I drove to southern West Virginia with my bandmates to play in a benefit concert for a fellow named Larry Gibson, who was trying to preserve his family’s ancestral mountain homestead from acquisition by the coal companies. I had heard of the problem but had no idea what I’d find when I got there — thousands and thousands of acres that look like the freakin’ moon. Absolutely appalling.
