Brady, 58, was found shot to death Sept. 22, 2008, a victim of suicide, but whether he suffocated his 56-year-old wife, Pamela Brady, with a plastic bag in their New Smyrna Beach home or whether she did it herself, remains a mystery. The deaths came after he abruptly resigned from his job as a lawyer with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement after a confrontation with the husband of a co-worker he was having an affair with turned violent. New Smyrna Beach police concluded their investigation in March.
To most Americans Christmas is a happy time punctuated by the presence of friends, family and an overwhelming air of optimism. Maybe now is a good time to go over the reasons we should be optimistic.
First of all, we live in a truly great country. In fact, in many ways the greatest country civilization has yet seen. Our best days are ahead of us, not behind us as some would have you believe.
