I grew up in a nice little Orange County house for a while surrounded by orange groves and other rural environments.I don’t know the background of who built the house or planted the orange groves. My parents and I struggled to move forward in our lives. I doubt perfect people made early Orange County of the 1950’s but so many people have moved there since the end of WW2 that there must be some major good that outweighs the bad. This is reflective of the U.S. as a whole. The world has had a barbaric history since recorded history about 10,000 A.D. Most of the world has been non-white and…

comment, opinion, Ash Barty’s Grand Slam win at the French Open proved she had “no feet of clay”, and was such a relief for Australian tennis, compared to a number of her Australian male counterparts, who associate unpredictable melodrama and masquerades of narcissism to be admirable sporting traits. Kenneth Gregson, Swansea Everyone I know is in favour of the proposed UPC Robbins Island wind farm. We hope even more wind farms get built. But no one I talk to is in favour of UPC’s 170km High Tension line being forced on us through fertile farms and high-value wilderness – especially when the power will go straight to companies on the…

Letters to the Editor: Gun facts | Letters to the Editor
Guns and children don’t mix. Guns and people with mental illness don’t mix. Guns and people with problems don’t mix. And, it seems like guns used for personal protection cause more problems than they solve. We cannot rid the world of criminals and sociopaths. The Revolutionary and Civil wars are centuries past, not to mention World Wars I and II. What more proof do we need that untrained people should not walk and ride around with guns? And that our schoolchildren should not have to practice what to do during a lockdown? When will enough be enough? When one or more of our congressmen or senators loses a child, grandchild,…

Letters to the Editor: Extreme house elevations shocking | Letters to the Editor
I brought the elevation of 105 Smith St. to Post and Courier reporter Robert Behre’s attention because it shocked me. The house needed to be raised, but it never crossed my mind that the Board of Architectural Review would allow such a drastic change to the streetscape. The first floor windows of 105 are now at the same level of the second-floor windows of 107 Smith St. All the houses on this block are streetfront, and the contrast is extreme. In the May 19 Post and Courier article by Mr. Behre, Will Hamilton of the Historic Charleston Foundation says “there hasn’t been much negative commentary.” A quick tax record search,…

Could Nero have advice for us? (letter) | Letters To The Editor
Dear Nero, perhaps in some immortal state you persist, not only in history but in a quasi-spiritual state. Although I have not thought before of contacting you, I consider the empire you governed in first-century Rome and a modern empire, the United States of America, to have much in common. So perhaps you can offer advice about the pressures and shamelessness of military adventures around the globe. Obviously we have different troubles these days, but you who fiddled while Rome burned to the ground might offer some wisdom for our beleaguered 21st-century souls, or at least remind us what Seneca, your famous counselor, whom you murdered for disloyalty, might say…
