As 2001 draws to

a close, what could be more natural than to look back and assess the

first year of the George Bush presidency?

LETTERS TO THE

Ignorance

unchecked breeds hatred

I hope that it is

just ignorance that fuels people to write articles like 'Sad day' for

Fayetteville and that people like Chuck E. Bryant are few and far between

in this world. It is imperative to understand other people's cultures

and religions precisely to avoid more tragedies like that on Sept. 11.

It is ignorance that promotes tragedy and death because we always fear

what we do not know.

Cable

spokesman wrong

On Friday, Dec.

21, when I turned on my TV all of the channels were off the air and

all we received was static. A call to the local Peachtree City office

got us to a recording which asked for our phone number. Providng that,

we received another recording that said that they were aware of the

problem and people in the area working to correct it.

Views

'hate-filled,' 'vile'

Like many (I hope),

I am appalled at the ignorant hatred and bigotry of Chuck Bryant's letter

in the Dec. 26 edition. His lack of appreciation for the freedoms that

the Founding Fathers guaranteed our nation is appalling enough, but

his bigoted indictment of the Islam religion strikes fear in my heart.

I don't mean that I fear Islam, but I do fear the type of vicious hatred

expressed by Mr. Bryant. Hopefully Fayette citizens know that his hatred

and bigotry, although vocal, is not shared by most.

Government

against us in power plant fight

We in South Fulton

and Fayette Counties have been fighting for months to keep an enormous

power plant from being located in the middle of our densely populated

area.
