The E-Sylum:  Volume 8, Number 39, September 11, 2005, Article 12

IN EDITORS WE MUST TRUST

The "In God We Trust" issue is a perennial topic which reappears
in the news regularly. We've addressed the numismatic facets of
the topic, and also some opinions on the fundamentals of the issue
from proponents of both sides of the debate. Beyond that, there is
little more to discuss unless there is some additional numismatic
research information discovered, or the topic appears again in the
news. I've greatly edited some of the earlier submissions on the
subject and have had to reject others. What's great about The
E-Sylum readership is that they seldom delve into topics clearly
beyond our scope (such as religion or politics), and as a result I
rarely have to make such edits. As one subscriber wrote, without
having an editor to put the brakes on these discussions, "The only
thing that will result is an exchange of nasty, nuclear-powered
attacks on holders of opposing views. I don't want to see this fine
publication descend to the depths that I regularly witness in online
forums." Such discussions, as last week's writer suggested, fall
outside the editorial bounds of E-Sylum. So let's get back to
numismatics. -Editor
