Has America really GROWN up?
Image by iceman9294 via FlickrThe question is Has America really GROWN up? Well the answer is NO. I say no because this country has not really changed it has just sugar coated a lot of issues.
1. Racism- People try to tell us that racism is gone but is it really. NO!!! It just goes all ways now and is directed to every race not just afro-americans anymore.
2. Financial security- Never will happen in this country unless you hit it big in the lottery or the stock market. We still pay outrageous prices for most things we want and as always we want more and more and more.
3. Crime- We are told that crime is down but it is still on the rise. All you see on the news is people committing crimes.
There are so many things we are not doing to better our country. We are only tearing it down and we blame it on everyone else. Stand up and take responsibility for your part in making this country what it is today. If you are making it an immoral, unethical, racist, sexist country then you need to change your ways and better this country. Give back to your community, help an elderly person, take care of our kids. In other words, HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATED STORY: Woman dead, her grandson injured in King wreck--Impaired driver flees the scene
Lori M. Cox
Brenda Hyler Craig, 51, of 902 Wentworth St., Reidsville, was killed when her 1992 Acura was hit head-on by a 1997 Dodge Dakota pickup truck that crossed the center line. The pickup was operated by Michael Paul Barton, 25, of 1025 Lane Road, King. He was driving northbound on Highway 66 when he struck Craig’s car.
Also in the Acura was Craig’s seven-year-old grandson, Tyler Ray Vernon of Hamptonville. According to Stokes County EMS Director Monty Stevens, the child was pinned in the vehicle, rescued and transported to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, in stable condition.
Trooper Bobby Miller with the North Carolina Highway Patrol reported on Monday that although Vernon’s injuries were non-life-threatening, the little boy was still in the hospital.
When the wreck occurred, the truck caught fire with Barton inside. Other motorists who stopped to assist, as well as some bystanders, pulled Barton from the burning vehicle. According to Trooper Miller, Barton fled the scene shortly thereafter with 22-year-old Lori M. Cox who resides at the same address as Barton.
Later that night, Barton ended up at Forsyth Medical Center with serious injuries from the wreck. Cox, who took him to the hospital, was arrested there and charged with felony aiding and abetting and felony hit and run. She is being held on a $5,000 bond in the Stokes County Jail.
Barton has warrants out for his arrest on charges of felony hit and run and driving while impaired. He is currently under guard at Forsyth Medical Center; those warrants will be served immediately upon his release.
The court date for Barton and Cox is Tuesday, July 26.
