Perfect example of White loving America they are gonna kill you one way or another. They destroy everything they come in contact with and try to tell you its good for you "progress" that area was beautiful before the White monsters came to kill this land.

This was such a good story!! Well written! I feel for Hoppy!! To see the only place you've known your whole life deserted, and knowing what that town had become, had to be hard on him.

The average age a hundred years ago was 42!!!Even with living in a toxic town, old Hoppy has it better now than they did way back. Look at the bright side, live with positive intention to offer something good and useful. Otherwise, YOU are a toxin to YOUR environment. Happy 4th and GOD bless America, Land of the FREE and Home of the Brave!!

I say leave the old man there he is 84 and lived there all his life. Except a short time in WW II when he went to fight. To me he is one of the heros of this country. Any thing he would have contracted he did so a long time ago. Moving him can't save him now. So when he dies put him where he lived beneath the earth not far from the land that gave him birth.

Why do people poison the Earth, I saw a lot of those comments.. Its all of us, who use electricity, gas, plastic, paint, rubber, fiberglass, and many other products whose by products are toxic and harmful.. And just were might you Almightys suggest putting this waste? It has to go someplace, so it went into natural lead mines. There will be more of this sad to say, but we all are to blame, not just Those People, or People.No matter how "green" we go there will stil be waste and byproducts.. What should be done, is figure out safer disposal methods, Not the cheap way out, but big business does not want to pay the price for saftey, they rather enjoy the profits.... Nothing can be done about this. Sad Story... A real shame, but in a capitolist system, its about the buck and not the people...

God said He will not destroy the earth again by water. This is a good story, well written. It's a sad truth. I can feel the anguish in this mans heart, to have to leave his home. Yeah, we are poisoning this earth one town at a time.What will my grand children inherit?
