Using Google Earth to See Destruction
An anonymous reader writes "On Monday, an environmental advocacy group [Appalachian Voices] joined with Google to deliver a special interactive layer for Google Earth. This new layer will tell "the stories of over 470 mountains that have been destroyed from coal mining, and its impact on nearby ecosystems. Separately, the World Wildlife Fund has added the ability to visit its 150 project sites using Google Earth."
God damn hippies!
If you really want to see destruction using google earth you should stop by gewar.net

Apperently the "mastermind" behind september eleventh has confessed to just about everything.
Yeah, he not only planned and executed hundreds of terror plots, he also killed your puppy and shot Santa.
Oh, did I mention that he eats babies and was definitely not tortured in to giving a confession. I mean, they even asked him, in his secret hearing, answers redacted, if he was confessing under duress. And, say the army, he said that he did not confess under duress.
Thank goodness. Now that we have the real culprit behind 9/11 we can leave Iraq and Afghanistan and bring our boys home.
I love this shit hole of a country.
A blog about stuff.
With source-less stories like this one where TFA has no more information than the summary, what's the point? Just to make some ad revenue for the website?
No, they live under bridges. So you'll be the first to go!
Will you marry me?
lol.. Someone mark this guy up as funny or the new supper funny mod "insightful"
"You've obviously never seen the devastation caused by slurry "dams" breaking and flooding valleys with the muck. Or never had to deal with the dust generated by the mining or the pollution to the groundwater. I can guess you've never had to meet a coal truck on small country road at night in a blind curve."
You've obviously never seen Black Adder:
Rum: aah-ahhh! [strokes his hand] You have a woman's hand, milord! I'll wager these
dainty pinkies never weighed anchor in a storm.
Blackadder: Well, you're right there.
Rum: Ha ha ha. -Aah! Your skin milord. I'll wager it ne'er felt the lash of a cat 'o' nine tails,
been rubbed with salt, and then flayed off by a pirate chief to make fine stockings for his best
cabin boy.
Blackadder: How uncanny, I don't know how you do it, but you're right again.
Rum: Why should I let a stupid cockerel like you aboard me boat?
Blackadder: Perhaps for the money in my purse [holding it up]
Rum: Ha. -Aah! You have a woman's purse! [takes it from him and examines it daintily]
I'll wager that purse has never been used as a rowing-boat. I'll wager it's never had sixteen
shipwrecked mariners tossing in it.
Blackadder: Yes, right again, Rum. I must say when it comes to tales of courage I'm going to
have to keep my mouth shut.
Rum: Oh! You have a woman's mouth, milord! I'll wager that mouth never had to chew through
the side of a ship to escape the dreadful spindly killer fish.
Blackadder: I must say, when I came to see you, I had no idea I was goingt o have to eat your
ship as well as hire it. And since you're clearly as mad as a mongoose I'll bid you farewell
[gets up]
Rum: Aaah, courtiers to the Queen, you're nothing but lapdogs to a slip of a girl.
Blackadder: Better a "lapdog to a slip of a girl", than a... Git.
Rum: So you do have some spunk in you! Don't worry, laddie, I'll come, I'll come [holds out his
hand]
Blackadder: Well, let us set sail as soon as we can. [they shake] I will fetch my first mate,
and then I'll return as fast as my legs will carry me.
Rum: Ah! [pointing] You have a woman's legs, my lord! I'll wager those are legs that have
never been sliced clean off by a falling sail, and swept into the sea before your very eyes.
Blackadder: [crossly] Well, neither have yours.
Rum: That's where you're wrong
Parent needs to be modded up. That is all, thanks.
