NC LS Members

NC LS Members:

I hope these very hot June days find you all well and that you are coping with the hard economic times. It is said that hindsight is 20/20, and I can freely admit that many predicted the eventual failure of the bubble but we were too busy making money and working overtime to pay the necessary attention. If there is any silver lining to the current depression, it is that time we now have to reflect and reconsider where our lives have been going, and the waryness with which we now regard the American consumer-economy. Live on less, buy nothing you cannot pay for with cash, shop locally, patronize local farmers for food, drive less and consume less gas, put some savings into precious metals, and hopefully eliminate debt. These are easy to say, but still a goal we can all work towards as we League members secede from the Empire which has caused the distress,

On a better note, I hope all will attend the September NC LS Conference, date and location to be determined shortly. We will have as always and interesting program and ample time to address issues confronting our Chapter and the State. Please make plans to be there, and watch www.northcarolina.chapterlos.org for updates.

Lastly, I wanted to copy all with the following message from Dr. Hill regarding the proper acronym for the League:

Compatriots: I don't know where it started, but it is now common for the League to be referred to, both internally and externally, as the "LOS."

On its face, this makes no sense. What does LOS stand for, "League of South?" If we're going to use an acronym, why not LOTS--League of the South?

It has become convenient for our detractors to use LOS against us by simply adding "ers" to the end. We should have seen that coming from a mile away.

Starting now, we need to stop using the LOS acronym. Why not simply say "the League?" Or LS if we need an abbreviated acronym?

If LOS is in your literature or on your website, change it. Let's not make it easy for our enemies.

FSI,

Dr. Michael Hill, President

League of the South
