What you don't see

After a few visits to the Edgefield Mudslinger you find there are many things missing on purpose, other than the truth of course. The things that are missing are components within the county that are the basic core values that keeps people here and happy to be here. If you read the daily blithering nonsense you won't believe that you actually live here, and tend to become entrenched in the mind of a truly sick person and his jaded view on the world. Here are some people you may have overlooked or forgotten in your routine in the county.

• People that have a deep faith in God
• People that say hello to you on the street and actually mean it.
• People that wave as they drive by.
• People in stores and shops that serve you with a smile.
• People that serve the public cheerfully in spite of the hammering they take from others.
• People that make you feel secure when you are in an ambulance.
• People that provide you the best nursing and medical services.
• People that are great parents and great mentors.
• People that take the time to volunteer to mentor in sports and church.
• People that sell the best vegetables in the world.
• People that bake the best cakes and pies.
• People that call if they have not seen you in a while.
• People that visit if you are sick.
• People that you can ask for help if you need it.
• People that forgive.
• People that are gracious.
• People that say thank you.

Edgefield County is more than a collection of these people but a strong community that can always rise to the occasion to help you overcome any obstacle that life my throw at you. This is the reason that everyone lives here and why some that may have more than others help to make it better everyday. Their intent is always genuine as well as their passion for the community in which they live.

I seriously doubt there are those that truly wish to inflict harm to anyone, this only lies in the sick mind of the editor of edgefield mudslinger. Everyone is better not to read the random psychotic episodes or let those views make any difference in how they live, view others or do their jobs. Ignore him, if he does not have an audience he will go away. He is a smut merchant, just as his two cohorts on council seem to be. Of course I will continue to poke fun at the village idiot until he is silenced, some day we will all celebrate that occurance.

The sign that says "Welcome to Edgefield County" is much more than a sign, the people here really mean it, which is a relief in this day and time.

Really, Welcome
