Here are some issues area residents are discussing. The statements were phoned in anonymously, so the Courier does not know if they are true. We also do not know what motivated the callers:

In as much as our president, mayor, county chairman, at least two commissioners, all but one city councilman and God knows how many other prominent people are African-Americans, when will we cease to hear about the oppressed black people and begin to hear how lucky we all are to be fellow Americans.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive.

I noticed in the paper about Carolyn Brown. In my opinion, I think they will release her soon.

All this talk about global warming and now this Wednesday at noon they’re showing snow at Myrtle Beach. What part of this does not compute?

Mike Riddle’s column on Carolyn Brown was right on. If she pays us back, let her out on parole. And outsiders, stay out of Liberty County.
