Proper Kavanaugh vote also shows level of discord
The events of these past few weeks have been some of the most destructive to our society than most in a Third World revolution could have imagined. We have not been courteous, kind or tolerant; we have not listened to one another. Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh have been believable and seemingly honest in testimony. We are supposed to use our minds and our logic when trying to decide. Since Ford’s allegations, specific in many details, cannot be backed up with corroborating evidence, and Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony does hold up under scrutiny, one must go with the most credible. It’s very scary to see mob rule trying to dictate the outcome and influence the thinking. We have given in to primal instincts, and our civility has disappeared. Please, for the sake of our country, we can do better.

City should help needy, not wealthy developers
The Atlanta City Council defeated a review of the “Gulch” development deal (“Effort to get audit of Gulch proposal fails to pass council,” Metro, Oct. 2). This review would have delayed the sale until the public has more information how our $1.75 billion is spent. How will this project feed hungry schoolchildren in Atlanta? Will it provide after-school programs for these children? How will it help repair our crumbling infrastructure? Will it have a positive effect on my nightmarish commute? Why are we in such a hurry to develop areas for the wealthy to shop, yet have little, if any, low-income housing? Why are we making our city a playground for folks with higher incomes? The wealthy already have places to shop, eat and enjoy themselves. Each time we listen to one of our mayors, we run off the poor to make room for the rich.
