It would have set a dangerous SKYCRAPER precedence along Carnegie, spoiling the look and feel of the area and surrounding neighborhoods.<BR/><BR/>Now planners and the City must address the untenable cut-thru traffic pushed through the Piedmont Row Drive (aka BARCLAY DOWNS BYPASS) venturi. The city needs a better answer here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19601020.post-36552140225345019542008-07-22T09:53:00.000-04:002008-07-22T09:53:00.000-04:00Before you suggest that there were no weapons of m...Before you suggest that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; before you suggest that the U.S. invasion of my country was not a welcome one, please talk to those of us who lived under his tyranny, worked under a constant shadow of fear, and saw the effect off the WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION that he used on our neighbors in the north. I am learning that it is nice to be able to speak freely with no consequence, but you really should consider how the things that you say in your articles could affect your readers. Your insensitivity is astounding and I hope that you will find new ways of implementing your sarcasm into your writing, a new way to try and spin your politics off on your readers. I would never presume to know your situation, your background, your political choice and why you choose it. Please do not assume to know the situation that exists in my home country. If you would only take a visit to the lands in the north, the Kurdish people of Iraq were victimized for far too long for even you, an uneducated journalist on this particular subject matter, to so sarcasticly deny that the former Iraqi dictator did not just have, but use chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons. I shall write a letter to my friend Ann at your paper and see what her comments on this issue are. If nothing else, Mrs. Caulkin is a very fair and objective women, clearly she would not support your insensitivity through sarcasm. If you were reporting this claim as fact based on a source, then you have my support; but to make this claim in an attempt to garner a laugh is abhorrent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19601020.post-28142215317756332132008-07-22T08:49:00.000-04:002008-07-22T08:49:00.000-04:00Mary apparently didn't read the news stories about...Mary apparently didn't read the news stories about the US shipping all of Saddam's yellowcake out of Iraq last week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19601020.post-46987647309741849982008-07-21T21:39:00.000-04:002008-07-21T21:39:00.000-04:00They're ancient for Charlotte :) You know how we a...They're ancient for Charlotte :) You know how we are-look quick, it'll be bulldozed tomorrow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19601020.post-15740835653308284302008-07-21T20:55:00.000-04:002008-07-21T20:55:00.000-04:00Well, we do have some fossilized trees in the City...Well, we do have some fossilized trees in the City Council chamber from time to time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19601020.post-34699828548011581312008-07-21T20:32:00.000-04:002008-07-21T20:32:00.000-04:00"Ancient tree canopy?"

By the way, there were weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq, but Saddam got rid of them all in the 18 months after 9/11 and before the invasion. Heck, I by myself could get rid of a whole arsenal of weapons in 18 months time. It's not very difficult.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01467845181145392633noreply@blogger.com
