“One Heck of a Guy” blogger Allan Showalter has done it again.

(I blame my convoluted sentences on having taken German.)

In any event, Showalter thoroughly examines the Cary gravel pit opponents’ “chamber of commerce” video and decides it’s worthy of

He observes,

“While it’s painful to admit, I’m unable to camouflage the fact that this post falls into the do-good and community-oriented classifications.”

“Oddly, the residents of Cary, particularly those with homes near the company- picked site – an area zoned for residential use only – are not unanimously in favor of the proposal. Some, in fact, are perversely opposed to a mine operating across the street.”

You should really watch the videos, prepared by Cary’s Bruce Janu:

the 4 minute and 12 second one about the threat, viewed 789 times and

the 7 minute and 34 seconds one “chamber of commerce” one, viewed 515 times.
