Well, the lib-run Roanoke Times is in the wrong part of the Commonwealth to be doing this kind of stupid stuff. Other than the liberal bastion of Blacksburg (because of Virginia Tech), the rest of the area is hard core Conservative, and this is a good way to keep on offending potential subscribers. Last time I checked the rag was still in trouble, with its readership in the tank, largely because of the last stunt it pulled, with the gun owners database.
Let it sink...I read the much more Conservative Bristol Herald Courier for my regional news anyway.
I'm a Tech alumn, and even after having been processed through Blacksburg I don't agree with this h0rsesh!t.
I'm going to write them a letter.
It's probably an empty gesture, but at least I'll know I've been heard.
