Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter.

The ones who scream this the loudest are the ones who produce nothing...

They have no values to trade on the open market...

They must survive by usurping those values necessary to live through theft and fraud...

Who is their anger geared toward???

The value producer...

They use things such as the government who takes those values created by the producer at gunpoint and gives it to others who have not produced the values they recieved...

They use such things as guilt to make the producer feel guily and evil for his own "selfish desires" in increasing his own value to society...

And his guilt will of course disappear as soon as he gives of his earned values to those judged by others as worthy of receiving unearned wealth...

Here, I'll say it for all the Bible-thumpers who will only read the title and then hit the reply button, postively panting with delight at the thought of correcting someone (like nmh, who always engages "reply" a bit too soon.):

"No, Orion, the CORRECT Biblical quote is 'the LOVE of money is the root of all evil...' obviously Ayn Rand didn't know that... ooops, now that I've read the actual text I see that she knew full well what the Bible says... okay, never mind... but she WAS just an atheist you know, and only Jeeeezus will save you now!" There, how was that?
