Subject: clarification for Ed

For the sake of accuracy, the location of the soccer event was north Johnston County, and the anti-Hispanic rant of the moms and the players was by another team, NOT the Northwood team and parents.

Sincerely,
Angel Dennison

Subject: ahhhhhh, Chatham

The banter back and forth regarding Morrie’s comments about Bynum Friday Nights warms my heart.

I lived in Chapel Hill for most of my adult life  and my relatives for generations and generations.  I moved to Pittsboro 2  years ago…and just one of the major benefits was being enveloped by all these “liberal” people.

The whole idea of live and let live is something we all  need to embrace.  In my “Liberal” opinion, conservatism equals closed minds  equals hatred.  War certainly does not equal love.  Long live the  Liberals!

From: Maclyn Gavin
Subject: Liberals vs. Conservatives

In the battle to prove who is most intolerant of other views in Chatham County, I do believe that my fellow “liberals” have won hands down.  It’s shameful.

And now we are going to use the credentials of our ancestors who fought in the Civil War to prove how much right we have to speak up with these opinions?  Give me a break.

Now you can lay off of Morrie, who asked a perfectly legitimate question, and rail on me for a while.

Subject: Freedom of speech

In Chatlist 3194, Angel Dennison, talking about a sporting event at Northwood, says “I was witness to the worst racial anti-hispanic rant I have EVER heard”. Angel, you should tell the moms who made that rant to go to an event at the Bynum General store. Morrie said (#3193) she was disturbed by a singer there, who, at the end of the evening, was singing a spitritual and suddenly turned it into a left-wing political chant. But we are told that, at Bynum, all points of view are welcomed.
