Also: "The time has come for definitive action to be taken regarding the rampant growth of money addiction in our society. <p> The money addicts obstruct freedom of thought and action in each other's lives and in the lives of non-addicts. Furthermore, they act as a prophylectic [sic] and preventative of free sex. <p> The money addicts have been known to jumpu out of windows and to commit other destructive acts such as promoting wars while under the influence of money or when affected by withdrawal symptoms from it. Strangely, the addict experiences much the same problems while on money or while suffering from withdrawal symptoms. <p> These symptoms include continued fear of want, inability to experience aesthetic or religious feelings, and lack of ability to use consciousness to create freedom and enjoy life. <p> We, the non-addicts, feel that confiscation of the addictive materials would do nothing to reduce the number of addictions or alleviate the symptoms. <p> We believe that the only way to counteract the addiction is to ourselves be unaffected by the above mentioned addiction symptoms, and further to show these addicts alternatives to their symptoms. MAY ALL GROOVE. <p> Submitted in the interest of better understanding of this cruel addiction by Ava Poloshnick (824-8267) Additional copies are available upon request."
