Why all the fuss over nothing!

While the US attorney is thumping her chest and saying "you can't steal from the government and get away it" - the thousands of idiotic deals and contracts that allow people to steal from the government go on...

How stupid is this whole thing? Monetize the coins, offer the family a "finder's fee - 10% of the proceeds", sell them at auction and appropriate the money to paying down the national debt. Don't steal from the American people by taking this absurdity to court and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars refuting something so stupid. The US attorney should think about how she is legally stealing from the taxpayer's with this farce of a trial, instead of shaking a finger at the poor Swift family heirs and saying nanny-nanny-boo-boo.

Watch these will end up in the melting pot and be ruined forever, which will just about cap off the insanity. Same goes for all the other coins the US govt could have profited from over the years, instead of destroying valuable history of this country like the recent aluminum cents, the gold Sacagawea's that flew on the space shuttle, and so and on...

Sorry for the rant, just couldn't keep this one to myself...
