Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community.

Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.

If you are looking for an end to all war all over the world .. don’t hold your breath … its never happened before and with increased population pressure and limited resources becoming more limited … it will probably only get worse.
People are always going to disagree. And that’s fine. The goal should be to remain as diplomatic as possible while working as a worldwide community to advance the prosperity of everyone. People need to stop focusing on the past. Just think of the advancements we could all make if we all worked together! I patiently await the day that this becomes a reality.
