Why Build A Zoo When We Can

I Worked In The Media From The Late 30's Through The Early 70's. Politics In General Became More Liberal Both Nationally And Within The State As The Years Passed.

There Was No Congressional Club For My First Campaign. There Was No Organized State Group Of Young Republicans, But There Was A Dedicated Core Of Young People Who Volunteered To Do Anything My Campaign Needed.

It Still Surprises Me When I Find Something In Any North Carolina Newspaper That Isn't Mad At Me About Something.

We Are Now Considering Legislation Based On Statistics That Include Name-calling At Public Rallies As Crimes. Are We Going On To The School Yards Of This Country And When Two Kids Get Angry With Each Other And Call Each Other Names -- What Are We Going To Do, Cart Them Over To The Reformatory Or Add Them To The List Of 'hate Crimes' Perpetrators? This Is Ridiculous.

What I Am Suggesting Is Hard Work And It Can Be Slow Work, But The Rewards Are Well Worth It.
