This doesn't what make what happened any less tragic but I do feel it is erroneous to suggest that there are no other choices for Coasters except to engage in mining.Andrewhttp://orson.boric@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688274121226963086.post-38969683314752001832010-11-26T06:30:58.751+13:002010-11-26T06:30:58.751+13:00Sombre reading Mary, in your response to this awfu...Sombre reading Mary, in your response to this awful awful event.
