RE: Tarboo Ridge shooting facility
To All Concerned,
There are so many issues that the proposed facility raises that I
could certainly use as the basis for my opposition.
However, I would like to address just one here, which is probably the
most important to me and many others
similarly situated. That is, THE SANCTITY OF SOLITUDE.
I, like so many others in the affected area, specifically chose
this area and moved here after a lifetime of searching
for a place where nature is abundant and protected, people were not
crowded together, animals thrived, and solitude is sacred.
I chose to forego the many luxuries and amenities of an urban life in
exchange for this so rare and disappearing quality.
And now, after years of homesteading the land, and building what I
believed to be a legacy for myself and my family
and friends, the very foundation of this effort is threatened, for no
other reason than entertainment and personal profit.
As I walk outside on a cool and damp November morning, watching the
mist on the mountains and over the bay, or
on a warm Summer afternoon watching eagles soar and sunlight bathe the
mountains, should I be forced to endure the
distant, but ubiquitous, crackle of weapons of war being fired for
profit and entertainment? Should I, and all of the other
wildlife residing here be forced to live under fire? Clearly, such a
specter is disturbing at best.

The sanctity of my solitude will be forever destroyed as will be the
sacred character of this entire area.
What price do we put on the sanctity of solitude? Can it be measured?
Should it be sold off to the highest bidder?
I think not, and I urge anyone who has any influence over this matter to
oppose it wholeheartedly and vigorously!
Respectfully,
