"So you think that money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can not exist unless there are goods produced and men capable of producing them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is that what you consider evil?..." Opening remarks of a speech given by Francisco d'Anconia, Copper industrialist. John Galt's closest friend and first to join him in going on strike by the men of the mind. _______ The attack of Sept 11th. was an act of war not only on innocent people, but on a system that is capable of building and producing and yes, uses money as its tool of exchange. The war is against terrorism, the attackers who are driven by religious zeal and inspire their followers by destruction. What ideal is to live in tents amongst rubble and ignorance, worshiping blood thirsty deities? Thus, assuring the proliferation of children to be their blind and brain-washed servants for new and continuos human sacrifices against imaginary enemies called infidels. Money the root of all evil ? Real compassion is only if it is felt for those who are our enemies and can kill me ? What Rubbish ! LOL
