• Judy Via on "Statement from owners of Varsity Theater (yes, it’s closing tonight)": I am so sad to learn today that yet another downtown Chapel Hill landmark has closed its dooors. I moved to Chapel Hill shortly after graduating from college in 1971 and have seen so many of the old businesses close during the past thirty years. Places like The NC Cafeteria, where, as a
• asa on "Obamacare: He’s on call … well, his peeps are (in Durham, July 7)": Socialism doesn't work. LIBERATE the medical industries. Begin giving middle-aged people their medicare and social social security money BACK. Permit citizens to buy out-of-state health insurance. Phase out the 1800+ indsurance mandates.

• Chuck Small on "Sen. Julia Boseman: the lone No vote on Helms sycophancy": Charles, Helms devalued his own legacy, every day of his career that he demonized people who were different from him, whether it was blacks, gays and lesbians, or other groups.

Whoops, I forgot, we are talking about Durham. — Liz

• Eric on "Kay Hagan: States should have a hand in a reformed health care system": The link to the daily kos article is a fine example of the socialists agenda. Obama's healthcare plan is blatent socialism, and Kay Hagan must still have a smidgen on a conscious if she opposes it. She must recognize that destroying healthcare for everyone so a few can have second-rate care is insane. Free-market capitalism
• Eric on "EPA rates 12 N.C. coal residue impoundments with a “high hazard potential”": While everyone wants to ensure any waste generated from a coal-fired electric plant is contained and kept safely out of the environment, I have to question the motive for reporting this. Please correct my assumption, but I believe the reporter of this story supports the complete elimination of the use of coal for any indication
