So what then do you do about your children, parents, brothers and sisters, grandchildren, etc? Leave them to rot?
Is that what the men did at Concord Bridge? How about during the Civil War?
What did the men do fewer than 100 years ago during the mining "wars?" How about the copper miners in Butte Montana or the steel miners in Pennsylvania or the miners in Ohio or the coal miners in W. Virginia? They fought and died by the thousands, fighting hired goons and crooked state police and sheriff's people and even some military.
As an aside, for anyone who doesn't know, the word "redneck" comes from the coal miners in W. Virginia wearing red bandannas to show solidarity for their new union against the mine owners and their hired thugs. They fought all over the hills of W. Virginia and about 3,000 of them died, not counting the wounded.
The miners won that war, too.
