So Clay Aiken was able to vote in the Wake County school board election last month even though he has a house in Chatham County? Why am I not surprised?
As the mother of two children who have actually experienced the Wake County school shuffle game I have some advice for Clay: as the saying goes, better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Maybe we'll care what Aiken thinks once he actually experiences the shuffle with his own child. Of course, he'll have to move to Wake County first.

To control the deficit
In Rick Martinez's Feb. 3 column ("Debt's demands"), he argued that the national debt is rising uncontrollably. How does he propose to deal with it? Reducing spending will send our country into a death spiral of high unemployment. -
How not to adopt Haitians
Anyone sitting in a dank, fetid Haitian jail for any reason probably deserves at least a measure of sympathy, so in that sense I feel sorry for the Baptist missionaries from Idaho charged with kidnapping 33 "orphans" and trying to take them out of the country. -
Workers' perspective
It is unfortunate that your Feb. 4 news article "Perdue: SEANC speaks for state workers" devoted so much space to opponents of workers' rights and their same, tired arguments.
