But what MAY surprise you is that I am not going to BASH money. I think money is wonderful. I think everyone ought to have as much of it as they can make good use of.
Money is a marvelous tool.
Money allows us to live, to eat, to drink, have clothing, shelter, transportation, maintain our health, help our families and friends. Money can be a weapon that we use to defend ourselves from attack or to bring down our enemies. In our society, the list of things money can buy is endless. Money is a wonderful invention. And that IS what it is, you know - an invention.
