Becky, your comment brought back a memory of Francisco's speech about money being the root of all evil in Ayn Rand's book
Atlas Shrugged

It was thought provoking when I first read it and it is still thought provoking. Whether or not I agree with all that Rand wrote in her books and essays is not the purpose of this post. What she wrote about money being the root of all evil has stayed with me since I first read this essay over 45 years ago.
