I noted that too, but I doubt it would be perceived that way by the vast majority of people he was referring to simply because they don't talk/think in such roundabout ways (if they did, they wouldn't be working in coal mines, more than likely since no-one does that if they can find themselves to a better job). That's condescending too, but tough shit. Coal miners aren't addicted to being coal miners. If they could think better, they'd be doing something better. Lawson
