I like Homer. He's got a sound mind for the most part, and a really good look at the emotion of coal mining in WV. Basically wituout WV there would be no US as a world power. So you better all freaking know where it is on the MAP.
However the other big ugly devil to keep in mind in all this is that while the miners themselves are whimiscal and heartful of emotion and goodness the mine bosses, or the mine owners and companies are sometimes the worse form of demons ever known to walk this earth.
I put a picture of a strip mine in the article below. You want to talk about a deep sadness for the resources of our country? Look into that little gem of knoweledge that most people in the country are blissfully ignorant of. Nine times out of ten the mine owners and their companies couldn't care less about their workers. Which is to say in this era of big corporations, what else is new right?
Just keep in mind that the good people of West Virginia and other mining states put up with a lot of hell for not a whole lot of compensation in the form of saftey or kindness, just so we can turn on lights when it gets to dark and scary outside.
