Live 5 has report on an Iraq War protest in Marion Square, one acknowledging the fifth anniversary of the invasion. Go to the video clip and witness the tepid outrage for yourself. This one exchange stood out:
“When you see wrong, you speak out against wrong. You speak out for right,” said O’Fish, who spoke out along with a dozen other people.
“There are many things to fight for over here. If we’re going to declare war, let’s declare war on education,” O’Fish said.
I don’t know about you, but if I was a 10 year old boy that’s one war I could get behind.
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the online version of the Moultrie News.
An ABC News 4 reports sums up the trouble with the sex predator bill quite nicely:

The P&C’s outdoor guy David Quick has a response to the recent report from Prevention magazine designating Mt. P as one of the nation’s most walking unfriendly cities.
Some might say that living in a place such as Mount Pleasant requires you to drive somewhere, to burn expensive
and dirty fossil fuel, in order to take a walk. I contend otherwise. The fact remains that walking, like running, is so versatile that most of us are limited only by our creativity and will. Many of us are too lazy to walk.
My neighborhood is too small for twice-daily walks and/or runs with my Jack Russell terrier, Ozzie. So I venture in all directions beyond the periphery, behind supermarkets, shopping centers, through apartment parking lots and nearby subdivisions, and down a utility easement that some people call a “greenway.” That might sound unappealing, but I find it to be satisfying.
