Grandma Sez - - - A body don't find it easy, these days, t' put aside the trials, with which this old world is beset, and go about tryin' t' enjoy life. The heavy heart is inside the breast and the load is so large n' heavy it jist cain't be ignored. Seems like history is bein' repeated, on the European scene and there don't seem t* be any cure. Power over human bein's seems t'* be the motive of the organization thet is upsettin' the whole world. Never, in all my born days hev I seen sech. happenin's right here at home, 'n mind, my word, it ain't jest a bunch o^ youngsters tryin' f be heard. The serpent lurks underneath, jest a waitin' his chance, sure as guns. - Never did I ever think Pd live t' see the day when the calibre o* folks, like are leadin' the insurrection, could mustre up a followin* worth countin', in this country. T my mind, they 'ppear t' be equipped wi' sech low level minds, thet th' only way they kin be noticed is f make a lot of noice and dirty mess. I heared thet the stench around some o* em is unbearable, which, t' me, is the label Town Hall Series Will Open With Classic Play o» downright laziness. Pve heared, on the TV, some 0" 'em admittin* they don't want t' work, and expectthe hard-workin folks t' share wi' emu I also heared on the same program, folks sayin' they'd quit workin* before they* d share wi' thet kind. I been a watchirf this wicked monster a growin* all Over the world, 'n it didn't git started all by itself. It took a lot o' minds t' kick up sech a ruckus, with the help o* the Devil himself. The thing thet shocks me beyond all reasons, is thet these folks think o' theirselves as intellectuals. Wi'out dignity or self-respect, they put theirselves on the same level, or even higher, than folks wi' clean minds and bodies, and a will t* be self-supportin' and law-abidin. Poor, sick-minded folks they seem t' be, and Fm a wonderin* how they will judge themselves twenty years from now, when they get dried behind the ears. I'll wager, a lot o' the innocent ones, who've been inveigled into the crowd, will be mightily ashamed o* theirselves. It wont be easy t' live it down, and I'm sorry for their weakness.
