Here is a letter from G. Edward Griffin's Unfiltered News (a free weekly newsletter), written by a woman who is in despair over the condition of the world:

WHAT'S THE POINT OF LIVING?

Dear Mr. Griffin,

After reading your newsletter for well over a year now I am beginning to wonder what the point of living is. I read your information and it looks hopeless. The governments of the world are obviously corrupt beyond recognition and everything I read is about loosing more and more freedom. The collectivist control of our lives is inevitable and a poorly constructed resistance is falling apart at the seams. What's the point of living anymore? If they take my house, my livelihood and peace and create the new 1984...why would I want to stick around for that?
