Comments on us Eastern Kentuckians are nothing new, as we all know. I know we have problems, but the media never mentions the abundant jobs in the north that are filled by men and women from the tri-state area simply because they know they are honest and hard working. I worked 15yrs in Washington, D.C. and if anyone wants to subject themselves to crime, drugs, prostitution or anything of that nature I would be happy to give them streets or areas in D.C., Baltimore, NYC, Boston just a few cities I worked in, and I was on the streets at all hours. Be proud. We know what we are, and please don't lure these "people" to our hills. That's my two cents worth also...Ron Hall
