“This is notice that I am not asking your permission to send my child to school without a mask. Those efforts by others, as kind and congenial as they were, were met with total disregard, and are now over. My request wouldn’t be quite as kind. We, those of us who choose, will not be sending our children with masks. And school staff may not require them when they arrive. This is our decision, not yours.” …

“I will point out the hypocrisy in your masking rule. Highlight the falsehoods and politically driven one-sided arguments preceding your vote, and advise you that continuing along this path constitutes a violation of our children’s rights as citizens not to be used as medical research subjects.” …

“You should reconvene for a special session and by the end of this week record a vote to make masks in school optional.”

“Elections have consequences” is a phrase most often used when someone who did not vote complains about the actions of a politician. Recently, I discovered that at least one politician has forgotten that winning an election also has consequences. On August 14th, I drove by Grainger Stadium and observed cars lined up as watermelons were being given away by our current Mayor, Don Hardy. As I had received a flyer about the event this is what I expected to see. What I did not expect to see was on-duty City of Kinston firefighters being used as labor.

Recently I wrote a Guest Column wherein I expressed my agreement with former Democratic Louisiana Senator Elbert Guillory. In 2013 he left the Liberal Democratic Party in favor of the Conservative Republican Party, citing among other reasons the three liberal lies that 1. All Republicans are racists; 2. Democrats are champions of Civil Liberties; and 3. The Democrats’ agenda is best for Black Americans. My column agreed with Guillory’s reasoning.

I passed 80 a couple of years ago. I don’t know if anyone values my opinion anymore. I haven’t written letters like this since I argued with Jesse Helms about environmental issues. And yes, our environment is critically important; it’s the only one we have! But in observing things American over the years, I see some other issues that we have been wrestling with on which I have formed some opinions:
