More Rants And Raves....

Back on April 16, 2013, introduced you to "Rants and Raves" which is an exercise in local , editorial "opinionship" published in the "Mitchell News-Journal" - a hometown newspaper which gives voice to the folks in several North Carolina counties in the Great Smokies.

Here's an update on the community's latest concerns:

• "To the person who asked why we need guns since one of the Ten Commandments is "Thou shalt not kill" . The bad guys don't read the Bible."
• "It is sad when parents let one child rule the whole roost." 
• "Guess now that we know the bombs in Boston were made from pressure cookers, some politician in Washington will want to ban pressure cookers."
• "It seems like the better you treat your husband, the worse he treats you.  It's hard to love a person you have lost your respect for them."

And my absolute, hands-down two favorites...

• "I think Spruce Pine needs an ordinance about the squirrels stealing the garden gnomes out of the gardens in town."

• "If you got it flaunt it. Is that the motto now of all these old women?"

(California ain't got nothing on North Carolina...)
