From: Jeanne ( JeanneIris@earthlink.net )Ms. Marion Eggleton (posted from the Camden Courier Post) states the fearful message with vigor. Common? Yes. Sensible? I wonder.
Does she realize that her words support the very fear tactics of the generals whom she fervently admonishes, who are sworn to uphold the decisions made by their Commander in Chief?
The United States has intelligence operations in place at this very moment. It was our intelligence that assisted the capture of those involved with the recent terrorist activity in Europe. We should all pray that young women and men with high ingenuity and resourcefulness will continue to choose to enter the professions dedicated to preserving our peace. They work with intensity and intention 24/7, 365.
Our country is strong. We have intelligent, creative leaders who are ‘chafing at the bit’ to receive the winning number of votes of educated citizenry in the next election. Right now, the duty of every U.S. citizen is to analyze the evidence before us. Read, listen and, most of all, question those who wish to be the leaders in the upcoming years. Accept only logical answers. Encourage discussion.
Inventing fearful scenarios will only perpetuate ignorance. We have had enough ignorance!
We attract into our lives those conditions, which dominate our consciousness. I don’t know about you, but I intend to live a fulfilled, productive life, and I wish the same for my children along with those of my relatives and friends.
As long as there is breath in me, I will be the United States citizen who concentrates on and contributes to the advancement of this nation, illustrating to the world its strength of character, altruism, creativity, intelligence and stewardship. That is the only way to maintain a secure future for our loved ones.

As a former teacher of the deaf, I am very used to speaking to “deaf ears.” My only hope is that there will be some out there who open their hearts to perceive the sincerity of my voice.

You are the most sincere person I have ever met. We all should listen to you, just to hear something hard to find almost anywhere in America these days.
