JACK; LIST; When we were TEENS' we had a "FEAR OF GRAVE YARDS, CHURCHS, and the LIKE"!!! Even the MEANEST HOODLUM stayed away from these places, because we feared that "GOD WOULD STRIKE US DOWN", Messing around these places was a huge SIN!!! And besides our Parents, family, and/or any neighbor, friend, etc, would beat us half to death and then have to deal with the PREACHER, OH GOD HELP US...!!! We all had a Strong RESPECT for those places!!! When we returned from over seas after Viet Nam, and were Stationed up North, "NY/NJ/MD", we heard all the time about where- *BLACK CEMETERY'S BEING DESECRATED, AND VANDLEIZED*!!! You Never to our knowledge EVER, heard of this in "N.GA"!!! -----Original Message----- From: albibb-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:albibb-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of JACK MOORE Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 12:18 AM To: albibb@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ALBIBB] Fw: CSA MARKERS BA in North GA - I believe this is what happened in Richmond when the city council became controlled by minority politicians. The graveyards were bulldozed at the order of city hall. I don't have any one on the ground who can provide eyesight intel, but I'm sure there is someone out there who can verify this sacrilege.
