Money is the root of all fuckery.
Money is just a way of trading. It's easier to just carry money instead of trying to manage a half dozen chickens until you happen to run into somebody dragging around a couple bushels of potato's and wheat who just happens to need chickens.
It's what people do with money that brings the fuckery, especially when the just use money to "create" more money off the backs of others with no real tangible thing of value behind it.
