LETTER TO THE EDITOR NO NEW POLITICAL THIRD PARTY WILL SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS This is a response to the letter from Mr. Damm concerning a third political party. There is a third party. And a fourth, fifth and sixth. I identify with one of these, but I can also tell you that none of them will solve the problems you listed. Let me list the reasons why they can’t be solved. 1. Humans are prone to evil, and when they are given power, they will use it for evil. 2. No amount of money can fix society the way you want it. Our culture, at its root, is composed of millions of voluntary transac- tions by people of different genders, races, re- ligions and sexual orientations. Government should step back and let it run itself. That’s call laissez faire economics, or Austrian school economics. Read about it. 3. Immigration isn’t a problem. It has never been a problem. And pretending a wall is going to stop anything is foolish. The true problem is the neverending welfare state, in- cluding corporate welfare and farmer subsi- dies. 4. We are at war because it is profitable. The military industrial complex is massive and lines the pockets of politicians. That’s why we are constantly interfering in foreign affairs and never leaving Afghanistan. Government can’t fix the things you listed no matter who you elect. B.

PREP BASKETBALL PREP SOFTBALL REL’s Shannon Knights get back on track signs on with Francis Marion BY DANNY KELLY [email protected]

Carson Shannon, a human Swiss Army Knife when it comes to softball, has signed to play third base at Francis Marion University beginning with the 2019-2020 school year. The standout Robert E. Lee Academy first baseman, third baseman and pitcher batted .522, had a .658 on-base percent- age, hit a pair of homers, and drove in 26 runs in her junior season for REL. On the mound, she pitched a 2-hit shutout against Calhoun Academy. “It’s close to home and cheaper as schooling goes,” Shannon said of deciding on Francis Marion. “It’s small, but still public and has that homey feel.” Her outstanding junior cam- paign earned her SCISA 2A All- Region and All-State honors and she was voted the Cavaliers’ Best Offensive Player for the second straight year. She was also se- lected to play in the SCISA North-South All-Star Game. Shannon has done whatever she could to develop her soft- MICAH GREEN / THE SUMTER ITEM ball skills.
