Seems ironic and sad to me that the 2 things that "Made" Kentucky, coal and tobacco, are now so reviled by our citizens. Both are taxed and regulated to the hilt by the very residents that benefit to this day from the roads and infrastructure both have built over the years.
Just like all the trails my father & I cut 30 years ago to ride snowmobiles & dirtbikes on .... now they're all used by yuppie hikers & mountain bikers ... and motor vehicles prohibited.
