…As expressed by Gibsonville’s Carol Smith in this N&R letter to the editor:
Many well-informed people are moving to the Southeast, which will, I think, balance out the racist, extreme-right residents. For that, I am very glad.
As for drilling off the East Coast, it’s far too close to my backyard for my comfort. Until more information is available, that should be the last resort. Much of the Southwest — including Louisiana — is simply ugly; drilling detracts from the beauty of the tourist attractions. If I spend the money and time traveling, I want to see beauty — not oil rigs.
And “Yes, we can …” elect a biracial man as president. The South is benefiting from more informed people moving here. Hurray for the well-educated and well-informed. We need many more of them.
Well gol’ darn if I don’t feel better now.
