Letters

My family would like to thank District Attorney General Russell Johnson for his comments and support pertaining to the malicious Facebook posting of pictures from my brother, Bill Jones and his friend’s murders.

It was in my and most everyone’s opinion a heinous act, as well as an admission of guilt.

This latest ploy for attention is not surprising, as Rocky and Leon Houston are like two dogs with the mange.

No matter how much they scratch, it is going to spread until it finally consumes them.

The article detailing Gerald Largen’s woes concerning unauthorized mowing occurring on his property reminded me that I might have a valid basis to bring suit against my next-door neighbor who uses a mowing service that routinely cuts some of my grass.

It is handy for them because it allows for easier turning on a steep incline.

But until I read the article about Mr. Largen’s suit in Chancery Court claiming a quarter million in damages for mowing a tiny strip of grass and weeds I had no idea I might be sitting on a goldmine of legal recourse.

This is a letter to the East Tennessee area, especially the Anderson County community at large, and all churches within the scope of this paper.

I have several questions for those pondering what they can do for the betterment of our community to combat the rampant moral depravity that is sweeping the entire nation.

It seems we cannot turn on the television without encountering another horror story about a berserk madman shooting people in a public place.

Crime is on the rise, and, in turn, our jails are full.

Who is committing these crimes?

I read the letter to the editor in the Aug. 15 edition of the Roane County News and wanted to remind people of something that far too many of us have forgotten.  

We hear much talk of this country being founded on Christian principles and most speak of the Founding Fathers with fond words and expound upon their moral values.  

It would be well to remember the truth as to the beginnings of this nation.

I love our country and would never wish to live anywhere else, but I believe we should always have a true remembrance of what is truth.
