The column written by Whit Gibbons (Aug. 27) is well timed to the serious ills facing society today. We have too often been brainwashed by repeated myths which are not factual but propaganda.
I thank you for his column of fact and information and do appreciate his informing the public concerning the late Doneila Meadows articulating these myths so well.
Neighborhoods are indeed important to quality of living and as Whit stated (rather Fodor), ''A NIMBY (not in my back yard) is more likely to be someone who cares enough about the future of his or her community to get out and protect it.''
I am grateful to be acquainted with some committed NIMBYs in Athens.
