The Root of All Evil
I am reading Dick Morris' "Off with Their Heads: Traitors, Crooks & Obstructionists in American Politics". (I know it was published in 2003, but my reading list is very long and political books get pushed to the back of the line.) Morris guided Bill Clinton and now works for Fox News, so my feeling is that like many of us he is chasing a buck (or he and Bill had a falling out and its payback time).
Anyway, in the book Morris talks about the "left believing that poverty is the root of all evil", and that's what interested me. Is poverty really the root of all evil? I believe not. I think an ignorance of the innate evalue of human life, absence of a basic moral compass, and fear of suffering and destitution are at the core of evil's root.
