What has kept me here, in part, is the lack of McDonaldization which has taken over all corners of this country. Large corporations have systematically dismantled small family owned businesses, while giving nothing back to the community. Their only concern is to their shareholders, people who will never live in the communities they have taken so much from. Keep Oriental and the surrounding areas free for small businesses to start up and prosper.

walmart puts at stake the pleasures we take in our simple lands, roads, lanes, speeds and temperments. our values of close community and well-earned friendships and trusts with our local business enterprises are at stake.
our freedom from the inevitable clutter and clamour that come with cold and formulaic mega monster business practice and development is at stake.
our common wealths are at stake.
our common good is at stake.
pamlico commissioners, please consider very carefully
what you might be endorsing away.
