Editor, Gazette-Journal:

The word “all” is an absolute and collective term. Thus, when reading in the Aug. 6 editorial (“Turning the Page”) that “… all the arguments have become moot,” I realized much about the new Page Middle School is not understood.

The new facility is not “hurricane hardened.”

Consider why our society requires life vests in boats and fire extinguishers in motels.

Visualize a telephone pole or tree arriving at one’s house wall at 100 mph.

Note that Gloucester County is in “Hurricane Alley.”

I concede that public cemeteries are less capital intensive to develop than public schools.
