No, BB, you have misquoted the proverb. Money is a neutral item, neither good nor evil.

"It is the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil."

In other words, if money is MORE important to you than respect, sanity, responsibility, and the lives of others...then THERE lies the ultimate force behind evil. You can see it so easily in today's World that I should hardly have to explain it to you or anyone else.
