Money is always hard-earned in letters to the editor...

Sometimes, when I read a letter to the editor that's particularly self-righteous, I start hearing "Battle Hymn Of The Republic" or "Fanfare For The Common Man" in my mind, ironically.  When people are so convinced that their opinions are the right ones, despite their logical gaps, I wonder if they heard these same standards in their minds, without the irony, as they wrote.
