Good morning!

This letter may appear to be early.

However, I feel strongly that it could be my last opportunity of choice to clarify my love and respect for the nation that has been described and clearly praised historically as the shining house upon the hill. That house has tragically become a house of cards. Eminent destruction through daily suicide is destroying it from within.

We are and have always been seen as the greatest hope against evil and the source light of freedom from within and without. We have also been abused and disparaged and many of us have fallen aside from freedom to accept likely domination and serfdom.

“It is only through courage and strength of character that a true and memorable legacy is ever obtained,” Muad’Dib said in “Hunters of Dune.”

It is OK to smile. These words are beyond the understanding of and yet unconsciously and emotionally feared by those who claim differently. They are, even so, willing to say to you that they are smarter than you and they will be overjoyed to take care of you because your beliefs and values are and always have been evil.

Through calendar time, November appears early on the horizon of meaningful history but, in fact, it is a brief moment away from our destiny that we will be permitted to return to our source of goodness and freedom. Today is today. It is neither yesterday nor tomorrow. Will you sleep and accept your owner overlord or will you awake and realize that your soul clearly remains aware of freedom and humanity? As I have often said in the past, choose wisely. This may well be your very last chance to breathe free.

Thoughts, emotions, and more thoughts: Sigh.

DILBERT BEYER,
