Double Check

This is what's generally known as "every body shook up" week.

The President didn't have to proclamation it . . . circumstances did the job. People heard, saw, and read so much that the mind sorter crystalized on a possibility of anything can happen hysteria and decided that a WAR was most possible.

It ain't that easy. We got a long go at what's going on in the thing called WORLD. It wasn't War . . . it was just a lot of WORRY got tangled up. We will come out of it sooner or later.

About every twenty years of yearning we, the people, have to get woke up. This is IT. Just you be patient and don't forget anything. As we older get, it takes much less to throw a fit (got that out of thin air).

We got to have a bigger army- and get the boys off the street. There comes the draft. We feel better that way even if they wouldn't shoot or couldn't hit if they did. You feel better when they can carry a gun legally.

I visited the quiet town of Cumberland and that is the "do as-you-please metropolis of the West". Banks closing hours mean nothing. The County Clerk works overtime and free. I saw the Honorable Robert Randolph Jones and his brother the Mayor of Dillwyn walking the streets without any protection . . . the Sheriffs wife without an escort. People going about fearlessly attending their own business.

We should take more time to evaluate our FREEDOM .

Thanks for reading.

Yours,

J. Marvin Brown.
