Common sense isn't.
After visiting the windmills, around sunset one evening we found our way to an abandoned mine. The opening was still accessible (unobstructed), and we looked around and took a few pictures.
There were two mine shafts.
The first is seen in the left center of this picture, and the
second was farther to the left. Towards the right, past the
Suburban, is seen the remnants of ventilation ducting. A steady
stream of water was draining out from the ducting, into a settling
pool, and down the hill.

second shaft opening, which is nearly covered with brush and
debris.

A few weeks later we took
these pictures of a piece of mining equipment next to the road a
short distance from the mine. By this time, workers were using
a bulldozer to cover the mine opening and prepare the area for
seeding. Subsequently, this equipment was removed.

| We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.... [The organized moneyed people] are unanimous in their hate for me and I welcome their hatred.... I should like to have it said of my second administration that these forces met their master. |

In this campaign speech FDR responded to the attacks (by Republicans) on him as a radical who aroused class antagonism and acted as a dictatorial leader. ~ |
