Dear Joffre:

     Thanks for taking the time to write.

     Perhaps you are unaware of our circumstances.  We are a few
individuals who sit - pretty much 24-hours a day, every day of the
year - on the sidewalk across the street from the White House,
except for those times when we're in jail, court, or police
custody.  We don't pay taxes, we don't vote, personally I am a
stateless person, and we try to devote the entirity of our time and
energy toward encouraging the public to follow our example, and to
substitute communication for competition.  As a result we live in
abject poverty.  Whatever money does come to us goes into printing
our own thoughts and opinions for distribution to the public.

     While your material contains useful information, that we might
be able to reproduce and distribute such a large volumn of paper is
not even a practical possibility.

     If you ever get to D.C. it is hoped that you will stop by and
visit us.  Perhaps we could then begin to explore a basis upon
which we might found voluntary co-operation.

                      Thanks for thinking,
