Subject: bell chimes

I probably shouldn’t publicize this…. but the computer for the courthouse chimes is in my office in the old courthouse. I can’t remember how it is programmed right now, but it is not tied to any weather reports. I think there are a series of songs that it cycles through, but I will check on that.

Glad you enjoyed the serendipity.

Subject: Commissioner Lucier’s backing out

This is in response to Mr. Phillips and Ms Miller’s postings about what a hero Commissioner Lucier was by backing out of attending the CCV meeting at the last minute.   He really saved himself from the “lynching meeting manipulated by outside hate groups” (Mr. Phillips) and “the clan meeting” (Ms. Miller) as they put it.  The only thing is — I, a concerned United States, Chatham County tax-paying, law-abiding citizen ACTUALLY ATTENDED that meeting on Thursday evening at the Dockside (just wanted to make sure they had the correct meeting.)   The only people in attendance at that meeting were:  other concerned, United States, Chatham County, tax-paying, law-abiding citizens like myself.  Constituents of Mr. Lucier’s, as a matter of fact.

Subject: deer

As an organic farmer in the area I would like to add my two cents to the deer population debate. Chatham County has a huge deer population, they are part of our environment and I too love to see them, however, feeding them is not a natural part of the process.

Subject: The “racist” brush

There is no denying that for *some* people, the reason to oppose *ILLEGAL* immigration boils down to racism. And that is reprehensible.  But it is a huge mistake to believe that *all* reasons for opposing illegal immigration boil down to racism.  Yet that is exactly what Gary and Meg seem to do.

To reduce *all* opposition to illegal immigration to racism is to simply cut off all possibility of dialog among citizens — because many of those who oppose it are liberal enough to find it abhorent to be painted with the “racism” brush.  So they feel they have to shut up and not let their true feelings be known.
