The dissent grants that petitionersO situation is ‘unfortunate’ that they ‘understandably attract this CourtOs sympathy.’ Post, at 1, 39.

Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency….Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of a society than to debauch the currency.

I personally don’t need some arrogant, left-leaning, holier-than-thou individual using the force of the government to dictate how I should act. If I see someone who I believe needs and deserves my help and I have the ability to provide that help, I will do so. It is all about a single word: freedom. Those such as the letter writer have no problem forcing their will upon other members of society. I, on the other hand, wish only to leave others to their own decisions and have them leave me to mine Bob Cogliano
