North Carolina: Beware of this State -
4/16/2014Upon first arriving in the Triangle in the late '80s, I thought it was beautiful and a relief to the congestion and cold weather of New England. However it was not long before I realized my egregious error.
Employed by the old Carolina Power & Light Copany, my work unit was moved into an underground facility that the company knew contained harmful chemicals. (An engineering firm I employed found the company records.)Many in my group got ill. My once perfect heath was gone forever. Two years and many hospitalizations later, I was finally due in court. My attorney was hopeful. But "somehow," the case was dismissed just three days before trial.
Despite my damaged health, I managed to get re-employed by Duke. I thought I would be safe there. Wrong again. This institution, along with the rest of this state's charming inhabitants, have no idea what "Christian values" are, despite their constant Bible-thumping. Never in my life have I experienced such virulent hatred for belong to a minority. More federal laws were broken, including the ADA. The population of this state are clueless about the principles upon which this country was founded. They are a lawless and cruel bunch who when backed against the wall with facts, the truth, show their true colors as bullies.
Unless you are intellectually impaired and white, southern Baptist, stay out of this hell hole. They destroyed my health and livelihood. Finally, I escaped home, right in time for the Boston Marathon bombings. We Bostonians, with all our oddities, run towards each other in times of trouble. North Carolinians either ignore you or come at you with sticks to beat you into the ground. This is no joke....the only passion North Carolinians possess is hatred for everyone else. Avoid NC.
Hopefully, karma exists and these people receive their just desserts.
