| Subject: Money is the Root of All Evil - Yeah, Right... Sat Aug 07, 2010 5:45 am | |
| I just recently over heard the one line solution to all our problems: "Money is the root of all evil".
The way this sort of person talks, we should get rid of money all together. If that person picked up a book or two and started to read a little more he would properly state, "government money is the root of all evil".
Does anyone truly believe that a long time ago government devised the idea of money and all of a sudden we had a medium of exchange? That the first people to use this freshly printed money, bowed to the government because all of a sudden they were now equipped with this magnificent way to interact with each other.
Ask any person where money originated from? Thats almost as good as the man on the street interviews. Almost.
It's disheartening that most people never spend the time to think about how money originated, yet for most people it's the very thing they try to acquire the most of in their life. It's even more disheartening to see that people don't even come close to knowing the difference between government toilet paper and natural money.
Just when you think people are finally learning, someone will have a solution for our social problems with a one liner interpretation: "money is the root of all evil". Ugh!
The sort of solution-to-get-rid-of-their-uncomfortable-feeling-of-not-knowing-a-proper-answer thought reminds me of the flash crash on May 6th 2010. "It was computer error". They always evade the perfect programmers. Somehow the underlying problem is never heard of.
Anyone that believes this nonsense wouldn't even have the slightest idea, that without use of money, we would quickly slide back to barbaric times. Sadly ninety-nine percent of the population would be "sleeping with the fishes".
If you believe the rapid fall in the standard of living during the Great Depression was quick, try imagining what will occur without that so called "root of all evil."
