| Carrboro is THE small 
                    town with everything! Well, almost everything.... we have 
                    cafes, restaurants, parks, grocery stores, a radio station.. 
                    Almost everything you can think of and need to live comfortably 
                    in the 21st Century. What we don't have are movie theaters(but 
                    we have Vis-Art Videos), a massage parlor(but Chapel Hill 
                    has one we can use), a hotel and a newspaper. I felt it was my civic 
                    duty to make Carrboro a more complete town and thus I have 
                    decided to launch it's first newspaper- The Carrboro News. 
                    Thanks to news organizations like Fox News, the job of reporting 
                    news has become much less mundane. To run a news organization 
                    you no longer have to worry about such time-consuming tasks 
                    as confirming facts and sources, being objective and having 
                    to worry about accuracy!

              my civic duty, while offering Carrboro it's first and BEST(Self-promotion/Lack
