What? No sticker espousing the virtues of black lung disease?
If it weren't vandalism, it might have been fun to take a red marker and add an "L" after IL... ;-)
When I was a kid, my grandparents had a coal mine in their backyard (no, seriously, no joke) near Petersburgh, IL (couple of corn fields north of you). It was a small tipple mine and active until the early 60s when there was an elevator failure and they had to rescue the mine pony through an air shaft, but that's beside the point. My home state is WV, so I had some childhood experience with coal. It seems to, for some reason, attract a certain sub species of redneck (my grandpa and uncles excluded, of course) who are unable to acknowledge that coal is dirty and toxic, and they fetishize coal and any grotesque method of extracting it they can think of. You'll find cars like that in WV and KY and Ohio, too. It just seems to go along with the industry. Oh, and I'm not surprised at the Red Sox sticker, either.
Michael Sweeney is indeed correct about about the stickers being in Ohio. Ohio was a hotbed for northern migration when the auto industry took hold. WV and KY saw many a family move toward the shores of Lake Erie to get a job at the abundant plants springing up in Lorain and Sandusky for example, although there were plenty of other towns in the region experiencing the same. At the risk of sounding harsh, they brought the coal mentality with them. To this day there are union halls that post signs stating that foreign cars are not permitted in the parking lot and have occasionally called tow companies to remove especially Hondas and Toyotas. The peak population in my home town was once 70,000 with it now being less than 30,000. It's not all the kin of the KY and WV migration, but the bloodlines of long-established families have thinned.
I suspect this is Free Market illiteracy, which I am strongly against.
If only this person realized the profitable world of bill board advertising that could be charged. Turned into a tidy profit. Not quite like writing a Conservative manifesto and having the GOP buy it in bulk to hand out at donor dinners.
But a tidy profit all the same.
Why is he anti free market and profit?
Red Sox ?? WTF? The Cubbies aren't good enough for Mr. Bituminous Anthracite? (I get that White Sox and coal don't go together so well.)
Socks and coal do go together well. Well enough for Santa. For those who were naughty instead of nice.
Yes, Santa is watching. He sees and hears everything.
It is why Santa gave Putin a sock of coal after Helsinki, that Christmas..
Almost forgot.
Just like pet rocks and Viagra go together in a comeback season.
