[Mr.Kimball]

And your point is?

Thanks for completely ignoring everything I wrote, lol.

1.) I never said they werent being used, I only said that less than 5% of it is being used, so those places you showed fall within that 5%. Doesn't change anything I said.

2.) Elk are wildlife, but that species was not here prior to strip mining, they aren't a natural species. That's all I was saying, strip mining didnt improve habitats here, they just brought in a species that were suitable for the new environment. Blasting off a mountain, destroying all the wildlife, and then bringing in something that can use the new land is not improving anything.

3.) The vegetation on the Sportsplex is a joke. There is a few American chestnuts planted by some coal friendly groups to make themselves look good. Other than that its just like every other mine site, tall grass, and not much else.

Are not a natural species? They once roamed all over Kentucky, just as buffalo did. I can remember the first time I ever saw a deer here in eastern Kentucky, and can remember when the DOW first brought deer into Johnson Co. I can also remember when they brought turkey into this area. All were at one time all native and natural species that lived everywhere in our area , but vanished many years ago. You dont have the first clue as to what you are rambling on about.


How many trees have you gone out and planted yourself? The National Arbor Foundation gives them away. You can also get trees from the state or the U.S. Forestry Department. How much time and effort do you put into making your own habitat and community better? Are you one of those guys that are too good to get your own hands dirty? Are you just one of those people that likes to gripe and complain about what every body else does but does nothing themselves to help themselves? If your wanting to see trees everywhere grab a few and go to work, my hypocritical friend.Spend less time on the computer and make a difference.
