Here is one of my concerns. In discussing with friends some of the previous issues addressed on the Scoop, it has been said to me, "I started to write something, but I don't write very well."; or "I wanted to respond, but I thought I would sound stupid."
Okay, let's address three basic points:
- This is not a writing contest. It is a blog dealing with local opinions, views and beliefs.
- The reason contributors are anonymous is to allow everyone to voice his/her thoughts without fear of being "labeled" or personally ridiculed.
- This should be fun! If you want national news or sports, check CNN, but for lively debate and discussion of local topics, the "Scoop" is your place!
Now, I am off of my soapbox, so hopefully, you will get on yours! Let's hear from you. I am always open to suggestions and new ideas. Let's hear the good, the bad and even the bizarre... so just speak up Delta!

OK, here goes:
1. What is good or getting better about Greenville?
a. Public Education is actually improving at least in the lower grades. I don't know why. Maybe the salaries are drawing in greater qualifications and teaching ability?
b. The city leaders are actually improving in actually doing something rather than talking about what could be done?
2. On the other hand (here it goes) why is it that we pat ourselves on the back so much about our success with "race relations" when in reality there is just as much animosity from the black community, or vice versa depending on one's, ah, perspective. Why don't we just admit there are some differences we can't stand about each other and state those differences? OK now, let's start telling what we don't like about each others' culture or whatever you want to call it.
a. Boom Boom car radios. Why do I still hear it and why are there no tickets issued or fines paid?
b. Why is there a driver's insurance liability law and I haven't heard of one person ticketed or fined or paid a fine?
c. Why doesn't the DDT publish municipal court arrests, convictions and fines levied and/or paid; and why not publish bankruptcies; why not publish more DRMC letters (I know; it's the advertizing budget!)
Add yours here later!
Assuming someone is actually visiting the blog, I will pose two questions for what it's worth. Why did LR drop only the link to Delta Medical Center when he punted? If a tree falls in an uninhabited forest does it still make a sound?

BinxBolling sez: About as well as Geo Bush and his do-nothing congress! I think I hear a tree falling!
