Letters

To the editor:
What is dribble?
Well, for one, it can be the syrupy saliva descending from the parted lips of an infant, customarily followed by an endearing toothless smile of satisfaction. It matters not that the infant has no idea of what it is doing or of the gentle swabbing by a loving adult, who then places a gentle kiss on the cherub’s cheek.
Or, it might be the repeated pounding of an air-inflated leather sphere on a hardwood floor that signals a competitor’s attempt to score in a game of hoops.

To the editor:
I wish to thank Sunset Beach councilwoman Carol Scott for apparently rejecting council pressure and not participating in the recent letter that councilmen DeVita, Joseph, Williams and Sherrill published.
I am also disappointed, but not surprised, that public officials would provide misinformation that conflicts with public records to “trick” taxpayers.

To the editor:
Some uninformed citizens say nuclear weapons are a threat to our safety.
Nuclear weapons are not the problem. Nuclear weapons don’t kill people. People kill people.
The problem is that all nations don’t have nuclear weapons. Some nations are nuke-free zones, inviting attacks from other nations. If all nations had nuclear weapons, there would be no fear of one nation attacking another.

To the editor:
Blessed with lending institutions, Brunswick County has its share of more than 4,440 vaults (branches of banks) scattered across North Carolina. Waiting for depositors’ money, the banker represents trust and security.
Use caution before placing dollars in this vault. Ask two questions: Are my funds safe? Are my rights being observed? If arbitration is security for a depositor or customer, then no problem.
Ask if you are a customer or consumer. The customer has privacy rights apart from a consumer’s rights.
