POPSFacebook: Defining Your Social Protocols
I have been trying to find a long lost friend of mine from school for about 20 years now. If anyone knows what happened to Theresa Blankenship - call me! That in itself is not why I joined and participate in the Facebook Community. Facebook is an excellent tool for networking, keeping abreast of local community events, international charities, and sometimes just pure entertainment. It's no secret: I love my virtual pet, Kiku. Recently, I have been adding "friends" that I went to high school with. I don't necessarily know these people personally, I just recognize their face, or remember their notoriety from the good ole days. What's wrong with that? What's all the hubbub? If they do not want to connect, all they have to so is ignore the invite. I will not be crushed. Each one of us has the responsibility to define our own social networking protocols. As for me, I think there is nothing wrong with meeting new people and sharing ideas and information. It's a good thing.

POPSWV coal baron: Energy efficiency is communist plot King of WV coal industry (and of WV Republican bankrollers) Don Blankenship rejoices to be criticized by the "communists and atheists" of the Charleston Gazette - and anybody who doesn't believe America's future is built on coal. Did YOU know Charleston was a hub of Communist activity, and that the coal industry was our only hope?

POPSWV charlatan to be examined by US Supreme Court Don Blankenship, CEO of WV's Massey Energy Co., which has a criminal record of over 5,000 counts, has been fined for employee deaths and waterway pollution, DB was seen in Monte Carlo with a WV Supreme Ct judge while appealing a $50 million judgment to the court (judge later recused himself), has another judge on the court who got $3 million from DB to get elected, who refused to recuse himself from the appeal, and the $50 M fine was shot down 3-2. Ah, but now the US Supreme Court has decided it will look over an appeal to the case challenging the judge's presence. Do you suppose justice might prevail in WV? DB has spent over $6 million to elect Republicans in WV.

POPSDon Blankenship - The Devil??? RecordSage made a comment earlier in one of his posts about being overwhelmed by the Democratic party with telephone calls, etc. In WV in the past few years, this person (I think) has literally tried to buy our state and he has had quite a few successes. He put out an state supreme judge with an ad-smearing campaign called "For the Kids". even though it had ABSOLUTELY no merit, (I read the whole case online) he still succeeded in putting Brent Benjamin on the WV supreme court ( to be bi-paritison and fair of course). I have personally been attacked for lack of a better word with pre-recorded telephone calls to my home attacking Rep. Mollohan. Our televison stations and newspapers have daily ads. There are flyers sent to our home. Our state has been "raped" by mountaintop removal. I sincerely hope Mr. Blankenship learns that WV is not for sale this election, but we will see.
