Bush's
first year not that easy to rate
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
As 2001 draws to
a close, what could be more natural than to look back and assess the
first year of the George Bush presidency?
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Ignorance
unchecked breeds hatred
I hope that it is
just ignorance that fuels people to write articles like 'Sad day' for
Fayetteville and that people like Chuck E. Bryant are few and far between
in this world. It is imperative to understand other people's cultures
and religions precisely to avoid more tragedies like that on Sept. 11.
It is ignorance that promotes tragedy and death because we always fear
what we do not know.
Cable
spokesman wrong
On Friday, Dec.
21, when I turned on my TV all of the channels were off the air and
all we received was static. A call to the local Peachtree City office
got us to a recording which asked for our phone number. Providng that,
we received another recording that said that they were aware of the
problem and people in the area working to correct it.
Views
'hate-filled,' 'vile'
Like many (I hope),
I am appalled at the ignorant hatred and bigotry of Chuck Bryant's letter
in the Dec. 26 edition. His lack of appreciation for the freedoms that
the Founding Fathers guaranteed our nation is appalling enough, but
his bigoted indictment of the Islam religion strikes fear in my heart.
I don't mean that I fear Islam, but I do fear the type of vicious hatred
expressed by Mr. Bryant. Hopefully Fayette citizens know that his hatred
and bigotry, although vocal, is not shared by most.
Government
against us in power plant fight
We in South Fulton
and Fayette Counties have been fighting for months to keep an enormous
power plant from being located in the middle of our densely populated
area.
