Having said that, my method of collecting has more to do with who/where I find interesting than who I think might have been "good." Like everyone I do possess a worldview and cannot help imposing that worldview on my thoughts about the people represented on the coins I collect, but that is not a deciding factor in making a purchase decision. </p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate I believe the reason for studying history is to glean lessons from the past in the hope that they might enlighten future decisions we make. I think there is something to be learned from everyone, the monsters and the good guys. And of course you could argue that we all combine varying degrees of good and bad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
