De esta forma, se distingue de la tierra. La tierra exige cobertura, requiere construcciones. Mientras que el agua se cobija en su propia piel.

In fact, the whole mountain is being removed, using ‘earth-moving equipment’ that scoops away the ‘over burden’ one Greyhound-bus-sized-bite at a time to expose the coal seam. (The parentheses seem necessary to call into question what is unreal, euphemistic, and a lie). For years, my wife has taken her Appalachian Studies classes to observe the desecration up close and in progress, from the property of a neighboring landowner who, allied with many others, remains helpless to stop what is happening.Hazenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417573435195561519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-72496255462890937712012-05-15T09:32:20.018-07:002012-05-15T09:32:20.018-07:00....in these lines:
