Today I read that they are doing a study on the ill effects of uranium mining which is slated to be open in Chatam, Virginia, about 40 miles from my home and school where I work. I was told our Governor is a proponent for the mines because there is about 10 billion dollars worth of raw material which would greatly help the state's economy. The local people stand helpless as the political machine is moving forward on this catastrophe. God help us and our children when they finally get their way.
