Does anyone in Greensboro recognize how fortunate we are in our local newspaper? If you have lived elsewhere, as I have, in six states, you would realize what a jewel we have in our daily newspaper.

Complaints pour in from both the left and right wing of our citizenry about bias. That is because our local newspaper provides a variety of opinions from both local and national voices, on both sides of the aisle, thus enriching us all.

Reading our newspaper thoroughly daily provides one with perspectives from widely disparate viewpoints, and that has the capacity to enrich us all, if we avail ourselves of the opportunity.
In reading the letters to the editor (Nov. 22), I rejoice in the diversity of opinion published. T.M. Cassell writes that Obama is not the first black president. Tim Tribbett writes that he will give our incoming president the same respect granted our outgoing one. Richard Manning lambasts Thomas Friedman for his opinions on the current economic crisis.

Our hometown newspaper serves us well in providing divergent viewpoints. Greensboro's residents are fortunate to have available such a broad exposure to current thoughts and opinions.

Thank you for the great job you do in providing your readers many opinions on issues that impact all of us.
