[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do a news search for the NC general assembly every week for a month or two before you make your decision. [/quote]

Is this in response to my post?  I get what you're saying about the GA, but you really have to think about what's going on here.  Meaning--NC has a history dixiecrats, meaning we had dems who weren't liberal hence we ended up with the like of Jesse Helms in the past ( dixies who either abstained from voting or went repub, hence ushering him into office). Then we have the issue of political gerrymandering, (decades old) to keep the old guard in place by using district maps to dilute the minorty & liberal vote--overturned by NC Supreme Court, redistrcting currently in action.  We also had good old HB2 which has been overturned.  We are the South.  We have a nasty history, some of which isn't very far away.  But by let me say, it would serve you well to see that we are evolving.  I'm a Black American and proud to raise my child here and feel certain that anyone who values diversity, opportunity,hard work and merit will feel the same.

I'm stepping off of my soapbox to say we have Duke, Chapel Hill, State and many more that are awesome.  Look a little deeper than the headlines. I can't imagine you (previous poster) are in research triangle or Charlotte and feel you are in backwater because they are very liberal.[/quote]
