This is the Daily Note.

I'm James A.

Brown.

Not long ago I shared with you that I'm a purple person.

Not a red person or a blue one, but a purple person and proud of it.

My views are a mix of my experiences, as I believe yours are too.

One of the most troubling responses I had to this I received on YouTube.

They said that historically, purple people like me are the first wiped out.

When it hits the fan, I can't help but be horrified by that notion.

In this country today, we speak so flippantly about war and violence that the true meaning of those words fade.

But what worries me most isn't whether I'll be wiped out is whether you in this nation will be too.

Because frankly, no one wants that, even those who think they do.

On that note, I'm James A.

Brown and as always, be well.
