Letter to the Editor Dear Sam Your article, "Bad News" in the Feb. '08 letter was on target. Here's a horror story I hope you'll print. In Russellville, Pope County, Ark., in 2006, two cops beat to death a man who was having a nervous breakdown. They got off scot free, thanks to a corrupt sheriff and prosecuting attorney. Also in Pope Co., Ark., in Aug of '07, I was running out of gas on I-40. I pulled off the highway and was immediately arrested by a state cop who I gave my driver's license to in his hands, and he swore I gave him a wrong birth date. Why would I? I was thrown in a cold cell in the Pope County jail. For 3 days my car was impounded — I lost it. I pled innocent, at the trial; I was fined $100 for "illegal parking." Your readers should definitely avoid "beautiful" Pope County, Arkansas. Respectfully, — a reader; Russellville, Arkansas I don't know. It just seemed like a good idea to hide his name. — editor The Fable of the Twins As Retold by Sam Aurelius Milam III Once upon a time, a good many years ago, two identical twins, born in England, were given up for adoption. One of the twins was adopted by a family that lived in Iran. His adoptive parents named him Amaal. The other of the twins was adopted by a family that lived in Spain. He was given the name Juan. About 20 years later, everybody involved decided to have a reunion. The biological mother was waiting at Heathrow, Amaal and Juan were scheduled to arrive soon, and there were even a few media hounds in attendance. Juan's plane arrived and he was tearfully reunited with his biological mother. Then everybody waited for Amaal's plane. It got later and later until finally somebody declared, "I'm tired of waiting! Let's all go home!" The mother exclaimed, "But Amaal isn't here yet!" One of the media hounds answered, "So what? They're identical twins!" Everybody went home. Moral: If you've seen Juan then you've seen Amaal. A Box of Kisses Stray Thoughts Old Timer's Lore For PayPal payments, use editor@frontiersman.my3website.net.
