I wrote on Ed Cone's blog: "The attitudes Jesse Helms expressed were very popular and commonplace in North Carolina. He was a man of his times, only more outspoken than many who secretly felt the same way. Most of us have relatives who believed as Helms did.

First, I took a wrong turn into a road behind a shopping center near my house, and found this field.
