http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usury

Wikipedia, eh? Information is only as good as its source.

en.wikipedia.org

"As with many parts of the Masters of the Universe story, He-Man's background and origins were somewhat revised in successive versions of the story and it is sometimes difficult to reconcile the various versions."

I do not agree that lending money to someone in all forms is bad. I believe individuals should be free to negotiate the terms of any contract they enter into freely, including interest rate and payment terms.

"Thus usury tends to force economic activity into the hands of the few which is often seen as another negative aspect of modern Capitalism."

Do you really believe this garbage?
