The rotter who simpers that he sees no difference between the power of thedollar and the power of the whip, ought to learn the difference on his ownhide — as, I think, he will. Until and unless you discover that money isthe root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceasesto be the tool by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of men. Blood, whips, and guns — or dollars. Take your choice — there is no other — and your time is running out. Ayn Rand
Francisco d’Anconia, _Atlas Shrugged_, (1905-1982)
