Money is evil -- but only if this is what you choose to believe . . .
Money is inanimate, as are gold, silver and platinum. As you state, the true devil lurks within the hearts and souls of men -- and I trust you use the term as a reference to humanity as a whole, not merely a gender-specific, non-PC term?
;^)
Either way, what you state is clearly known to the American public, for men (not meant to be gender-specific) are their brother’s keepers. Being good is a chore, and not a natural one. We are good to our fellows simply because it’s right to be good. Were we otherwise, so, too, would be America.
