There is a Gross Avenue and a Bratt Avenue in Caddell Woods in Raleigh.
And no one can forget Intercourse, PA.

Well tax records show he has ownership. So there's that.
Personally, I for one, will not just sit down and take it while bureaucrats and other SJWs issue edicts that apply to the peons and not them.
You're more than welcome to buy a bicycle and ride it to work, and never leave a five mile radius from your house if it makes you feel better.
If Al Gore thinks there's a problem with the climate, he can start by moving out of his 10,000 sq ft mansion and take a sailboat when he wants to go on vacation to Hawaii.
The new "solution" is to tax carbon...typical government response....let's not incentivize electric power, let's charge everyone else more so they use less of it. Who does that hurt? The wealthy? No. It's the middle and lower classes that have to pay for these regressive schemes.

Speaking of incentivizing electric power, a commission studying NC transportation revenue sources came out with recommendations a few weeks ago and one of them was to place additional taxes on electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to make up for declining gas tax revenues...... (while cutting the gas tax)

I would imagine eventually we may go towards a per mile tax. However it feels like 1/4 of the cars in my neighborhood don't even bother to renew their registration so if the state goes that method they will need to crack down. |

"Topic?" Pray tell... What is this "topic" of which you speak?
I like Hawaiian pizza. Pineapple and Ham or Canadian Bacon.
More "on topic?" I cannot tell.

A certain poster on here has a habit of commenting on any topic and twisting it somehow into blaming "SJWs" for all the perceived ills and evils in the world. It's their shtick to whine this way constantly.
For the rest of us, the change will happen and we'll get used to using it and go on with our lives not worrying about it. For example, I have no problem saying that I may fly to New York through Kennedy (or JFK, if you prefer) or to D.C. through Reagan, and I sincerely doubt most people still call them Idlewild or National. If it makes certain people feel better to still keep calling it Cameron Village, that indicates to me their insecurities more than anything else. |
