GarandFan:

"Work" and that's a 4 letter word as well.

Terwiliger:

I thought it was:

"The love of money is the root of all evil."

The root of money is the want for a system for standardizing the the valuation of goods & services & their subsequent exchange.

Evil results from immoral desires & behaviors. Money is inanimate, & any good or evil associated with it depends on context.

In any event, I'd say the root of money these days is "FIAT"--yet another 4-letter word.

Mauser:

If you ask a liberal, the answer is Evil. Because, you know, Capitalism is evil.

The only form of capitalism that is evil is Spam. Which, by the way, you could go back into your older entries and delete a lot of....

Zeroth:

Very comprehensive, T! Ayn might have spelt it "Fed" or more generally "government", but I suspect you captured the essence of her intent with "fiat".

Anonymous:

Martin

Check out T's post on the "Novel Idea" thread that just got bumped. He makes a good point WITH evidence.

Terwiliger:

ZEROTH:

Gubmint is implied in "FIAT", although I should have written that it is the source of money these days, not the root (& I deserve 99 lashes with a wet noodle for double-typing "the").

"ANONYMOUS":

Oh well--it's off the radar now, & I don't expect anybody to backtrack. FWIW, that point was several down the list from my best point, but one of the easier ones to condense (& as it is, it's impossible to be thorough in 1 paragraph).

Cowboy:

The left has always jumped on any threats (and early) in order to compromise them...and they're consistent.

On YouTube, there is about a half-hour interview with Ayan from Mike Wallace in the early 60's. He worked for the whole time to type her as a freak and compromise her. Not anything different than today, and actually he was pretty successful.

Of course she was pretty laid back (smoke blowing everywhere) with the attitude of, well from my standpoint (growing up in Stalinst Russia), if you believe in any sort of collectivism, than you're screwed!

It's a pretty easy search and interesting to watch. And yes we are now screwed!

Thanks for your article. I would love to say that the very first thing you will need to conduct is determine whether you really need credit repair. To do that you will need to get your hands on a duplicate of your credit report. That should really not be difficult, because government makes it necessary that you are allowed to obtain one free copy of your own credit report per year. You just have to request the right men and women. You can either look into the website for the Federal Trade Commission as well as contact one of the main credit agencies instantly.

Nice reading. Very helpful

In these days of austerity and also relative anxiety about incurring debt, many people balk up against the idea of using a credit card to make acquisition of merchandise or maybe pay for a holiday, preferring, instead only to rely on the tried plus trusted way of making repayment - raw cash. However, if you possess the cash on hand to make the purchase in full, then, paradoxically, that is the best time to use the card for several causes.

I know of the fact that these days, more and more people are increasingly being attracted to surveillance cameras and the field of digital photography. However, being photographer, you should first invest so much time frame deciding the model of digital camera to buy along with moving store to store just so you can buy the least expensive camera of the trademark you have decided to select. But it doesn't end at this time there. You also have to take into account whether you should obtain a digital video camera extended warranty. Thanks a lot for the good recommendations I gathered from your blog site.

Today, with all the fast way of life that everyone leads, credit cards have a big demand throughout the economy. Persons from every area are using the credit card and people who are not using the credit card have prepared to apply for one. Thanks for sharing your ideas in credit cards.

I have been surfing online much more than 3 hours right now, however I by no means discovered any interesting write-up like yours. It's pretty worth sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers created good content as you did, the world wide web will likely be a lot more helpful than ever prior to.

This can be a smart weblog. I mean it. You've so much understanding about this problem, and so much passion. You also know the way to make individuals rally behind it, naturally from the responses.
