one another. Sometimes when saying hello to someone, they won’t even respond back. Most of this is due to the fast paced nature of city life. The level of frustration and stress in the city plays a big role in this, whereas the mountains of North Carolina are peaceful. People that grew up in the city may find it strange that country folk’s wave at each other and say hello to strangers on the…

With so many differences it is understandable to get things that the nation as a whole disagree on, it be the legalization of recreational marijuana or, in this case, the Stand Your Ground law.…
