Well DD... pain is a great instructor, it teaches the lesson quite effectively. Looks like the dummies are gonna have to suffer some pain to learn. Too bad the other half of the country will too. 
Well, the half that voted for the pain will get what they wanted.
The rest will just have to make do, and we will. Tough times don't last, tough people do!
I'll throw my hat in with a Mountaineer any day, if they'll have me. (I am an honorary citizen of WV, BTW. I married a WV woman!)

I KNOW they will emerge victorious!!!!

So will all those that populate a state that mines or farms. They KNOW what hard work feels like.
