groups and cultures will persist for decades and centuries if firm efforts aren't made to break it down.

Agree that there's more than enough money to have invested in deteriorating places like Detroit and WVa. It's a crime and a shame. The abandoned people, communities and environment have been struggling for decades and major help has been absent.

On exploitation of resources and communities by various interests, in WVa. it came from the Midwest, the North, England, state insiders and probably more.

Several years ago a poster commented that West Virginia, the entire state should be preserved and made into a national park. What a wonderful idea.
