Letters

The safety hazard on Harrisburg Road – the iron plate stretching from white line to white line – that was reported to SCDOT on Oct. 6 and was the topic of a letter in The Lancaster News on Oct. 16, remains.
Yes, the iron plate that has the potential to cause a wreck is still in place. If SCDOT has looked into this matter, I have yet to see an action that occurred. I do understand that this is the action of a contractor, but the road belongs to SCDOT, seeing as how this is in Lancaster County.

I love my town of Indian Land because it was not built up. We had trees, deer, animals – nice and quiet.
Now it is changing because these damn builders are money-hungry. Why are they ripping up the beautiful trees to build more terrible stores when you just need to drive up the road and there is plenty of shopping? Why clutter Indian Land? Traffic we do not need.   
They already did a poor job building homes in Indian Land, now they want to destroy the land, too. Not one tree left.  

I was in a place the other day where I had to show all my ID cards. And I thought I had put my cards back in my purse.
Well, later I looked in there and they were gone.
Panic isn’t a strong enough word for the way I felt. I really went crazy! “Where the poot is my cards?!” I yelled.
Oh Lordy, I do not do well in a situation like that. Cool, calm and collected, I am not! These are the cards no one should ever lose – driver’s license, Social Security, Medicare!  

I was in a local discount store today to buy groceries. A couple there had a dog in their basket. According to the manager, they are powerless to do anything due to the Americans With Disabilities Act.
It would seem to me that animals in shopping carts in grocery stores or animals in restaurants are a sanitation issue.
Too many people are going online and purchasing “service animal” items and claiming their dog is a service animal. This is wrong. Service animal permits should be regulated with paperwork, just as handicapped parking permits are.
