Two Americas


Democratic presidential candidate, former Senator John Edwards, he of "Two Americas" rhetoric, has built a new house on 102 acres near Chapel Hill North Carolina for his family. The main living area is only a little more than ten thousand square feet! That is connected by a heated walkway to another six thousand square feet area that includes a basketball court, a racquetball court, and a pool. There are twenty-nine thousand square feet altogether. Edwards sold his home in Raleigh in a development called "Country Club Estates" for 1.4 million dollars. He also recently sold his mansion in the Georgetown area of Washington D.C. for just a little more than five million dollars. Of course he also owns an oceanside vacation home in a gated community. The gate, presumably, is to keep out us "other Americans."
