So....an overused meme is the best you can do by way of consideration of my question? Really?

Yeah, I believe that. It's what passes for "thought" these days.

I would still have to leave out the word 'all'. I like the compromise of an emotion and money creating evil, because it shows places blame in the right spots. It just doesn't explain pure evil acts.
Close but the root of all evil is money.

There's no way to "hollow out" the bars and fill them with steel. That gold was pressed around the steel when the bar was fabricated. Any other explanation is just foolish. Tungsten melts at more that 6000 degrees F. Gold melts at just under 2000 degrees F. Not even the reporting on this is accurate.

agree to disagree lol Maybe its neither, maybe we just dont want to blame ourselves. Man is the root of all evil. Man is the root of all good.
There is an expression that guns dont kill people, people kill people. Its all how we use the tool, whether for good or evil. Man is what turned money evil, but we also invented charity, so we use it for good as well.
If money is the root of all evil, then how do we explain the evil inside serial killers, most don't kill for money. How do we explain kids torturing animals, when money is not at stake. If it is the root of all evil, then evil can not exist anywhere without money. so we are left with,
Money is one of the roots of evil....but what are the others? Money can't take all the blame!
