'Diversity'
is racism's logical pinnacle
By PETER SCHWARTZ

It is now widely accepted
that "diversity" is an appropriate goal for society. But what
does this dictum actually mean?

Earth Day, April 22,
is a good occasion to revisit the question: Do we have to choose between
protecting the environment and growing the economy?

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Paving
over pastures? Where are you from?
It was a bitter pill to swallow,
but years ago I realized Fayette County was losing the rural charm I
knew as a child. Growth is necessary to maintain a tax base to support
the amenities a county requires. With that growth Fayette County has
attracted a variety of new residents from most corners of the globe
and each has an opinion of the direction of Fayette's future. With this
in mind I have to ask myself, Where in the world is Bill Gilmer from?
Proper English or not, he's obviously not from Fayette County.
Anybody
considered a golf course for center of county?
Thanks for your
heads-up article. I have been watching the area between Fayetteville
and Peachtree City, "the last 2000 acres," with a great deal
of interest and apprehension as the families fade away.
Fayette
going way of Clayton County, Riverdale
Wasn't Bill Gilmer's
response to publisher Cal Beverly's comments on "Paving Fayette"
the absolute stock answer one would expect from any average level-thinking
citizen? However, I thought Cal was probably trying to appeal to a higher
level of thinking than what one would expect.
Fayetteville
= Riverdale nearly here
I was just reading
one of your articles out on your web site concerning future business
coming into Fayetteville. I just would like to say that I have only
been a resident of Fayetteville for four years now and I can see it
happening: Fayetteville's very near future turning into another Riverdale.
Maybe
a different Delta job...
Steve Enterkin is
a buffoon (personal observation), a poor example of a builder (personal
experience), an even worse writer (see his attempt at a humorous editorial)
[The Citizen, April 16] and cannot even spell Delta Air Lines (note:
Air Lines is two separate words when used in conjunction with Delta).
Speeding
golf carts almost always driven by teens
I was sorry to read of the
golf cart accidents involving 15-year-old drivers. It does seem that
these were accidents waiting to happen.
15-year
olds driving carts should have adult present
The article on golf cart
wrecks and teen drivers seemed to answer my question on why would any
sensible adult allow their 15-year-old to drive a golf cart when he/she
can not get a drivers license in the state of Georgia? The same rule
should apply: Learner's permit must be accompanied by an adult. It is
just common sense.
Hospital,
find room in your budget for flying U.S. flag
I almost never write to the
editor but [Fayette Community Hospital spokesperson] Ryan Duffy really
pushed my button on this one.
Old
Glory, In God we trust, speaking Eglish: Get used to it
Wake up, This is the United
States of America and that is the flag of the United States of America
and should be flown anywhere in the U.S. without worry of offended "others."
There are a few things that those who have recently come to our country,
and apparently some native Americans, need to understand.
Hospital
raised flag to stem complaints from Citizen story
The article, "No
Flag for Now at Fayette Community Hospital," published in The Citizen
April 16 was appalling. The disappointing comments made by the spokesperson
for Fayette Community Hospital, Ryan Duffy, do not reflect the opinion
of all personnel at Fayette Community Hospital.
PTC
police could be better used for safety elsewhere
On a recent bright, sunny,
Sunday afternoon, a close acquaintance of mine was pulled over by the
Peachtree City Police on Golf View Drive at the three-way stop sign.
Support
raising tobacco tax
The price of a package of
cigarettes goes to the people who profit from nicotine addictions. It
is only our tax, 12 cents, that helps the people it hurts.
Thanks
to dedicated officers
I wanted to take this opportunity
to thank the Fayette County Criminal Investigation Unit, specifically
Lt. Col. Bruce Jordan and Sgt. Tracey Carroll for their work and dedication
on the Flint River murder case.
