Commented on The Bittersweet that was Darla

Thank's Dave. Darla sure did a good bit of talking whenever you were around. She sure must have appreciated your odor. Darla engaged that black snout of hers to guage her every considered move.

Commented on Back on my Soapbox

I fully appreciate your optimism regarding your fellow man. I, however, still consider human interaction on key intractable issues in testosterone driven pugilistic terms. I suppose I am a victim of my nature.

Commented on Back on my Soapbox

Diane, You are well versed in removing the mysteries of bad governing within, especially, the federal government. Many folks, some of them very well educated, just can never get a grip on what our Founding Fathers intended for the two levels of government - state and federal.

Commented on Commissioners Deatherage and Richardson are Inducted into the ACLU 'Wall of Shame'

Clifton, You would be surprised as to what extent this issue stokes the fires of political passions within liberals. Search my name on the internet on this issue, and a whole new group of lies are created about my person. What a way to defend an argument - to lie.

Commented on Our School Board has Created a Mess

Clifton, Delma does a great job - always has - that's why we have an agreement to exchange our work with the Beaufort Observer.

Commented on Ding, Ding, Ding ... Diane ...Round three

Diane has had her coffee, and there is rumor that a rebuttal is forthcoming. This issue may not be timeless, but I'm sorry to say that it will be with us for a while. Time to suit up and check your gloves Diane.

Commented on At Least Eric Holder Appears to be an Honest Man …

I'm a big fan of profiling instead. It worked well years. In fact the FBI still employs it with great deal of success.

Commented on DOT insists on unmanned rest stop south of Chocowinity

From my business experience with the trucking business, there is no doubt the State will use their highway bureaucrats to drain the truckers and their business of whatever that is left after cost of fuel, maintenance in a bad economy. Maybe truckers should hope for some "change you can believe in."

Commented on DOT insists on unmanned rest stop south of Chocowinity

Clifton, I have never seen the economic advantage of having a rest area just outside of one's county's only two exits, where the weary traveler may get off the road, catch a bite, and relieve themselves. But, the state government always knows what's best for us. Right?

Commented on Understanding your thinking

Jeffrey, I would like to publicly thank-you for your well-considered and well-written fist submission to BCN. I can certainly see that you too have your mother's love of science, and it works quite well as a logical platform to explain why folks should take stock in themselves, and their actions.

Commented on Physician, Heal Thyself

Hey Mike, What do you think about the new kid's retort to your "out of left field" commentary? Diane certainly has a certain measure of flow once she gets on a roll. In fact, she expresses my sentiments, quite eloquently, as well. Do you think you and Ms. "Spit and Fire" can find any common ground?

Commented on Physician, Heal Thyself

The truth: The pivate sector should be mistrusted. But, we have the "power of the purse," and the stock market, where we can "vote with our feet," and sell the stock. Government by definition is a monopoly and we have no power over it, save the election day for an enlightened electorate.

Commented on Physician, Heal Thyself

The reason people do not trust a majority within government is the truth / fiction vs. reality quotient. Most politicians trust that the majority of the public can only digest so much truth, so they mete out a measure of truth with their fiction. I'm different. I can only speak my truth.

Commented on Beaufort County Government's General Meeting Agenda: Monday, April 5, 2010.

Russell, These assessments surely are the April Fool's surprise. I still have not opened my new valuations yet. I will need a fresh 1/5 of Jack before I attempt that endeavor. Read the article on our last general meeting, which lists your options as to any argument that the appraisers are mistaken.

I agree with you Dave on eating what you grow. I also eat what I kill, but I'm growing tired of the taste of liberal Democrat.

Commented on Dear Friends: Part II

Mel,

Well spoken. What I have determined with these people, there is never question of fairness to the larger electorate, it is only the perception of fairness to their voting base.

On another note: You should consider developing an article for Words with the Publisher.

Commented on Why No Jobs?

Greg never lets an opportunity go by to eplain his position and then bang the drum for the election of conservatives.
The really sad part about Dority's article is that there is a strong possibility that what he touts may be true. Scary ... hugh.

Commented on OMG! Hell has frozen over!

Publishers Note:
Mike is the nicest, and possibly, one of the smartest liberals I've ever known. It is refreshing to have the opportunity in this publication to present an alternate view from my own. At BCN, we celebrate all positions. Especially if they are as well spoken as Mike's.
