    Man, I'm fucking sick of the media treating these guys like puppies. They're miners, and by default they are all badasses in my book. Risking their lives, working more than half a mile underground... sure they went through an ordeal but it's not like they were pinned under rocks in total darkness with no food or water. They handled the whole thing wonderfully.

    And now the media is just going on and on about what could have happened, what bad things might happen... their eyeballs might explode if they see sunlight, the media hounding might make them psychologically crazy, the switch from isolation to regular life might make them crazy... Holy fuck seriously. Those guys are going to be just fine. It's not like they have shell shock from war.
