[John] Ah my friend, you are absolutely right but absolutely wrong. Money should never be the source of value, but it more than often is. How many decisions of Quality are shortchanged due to monetary considerations in an average man's life? You hear this dilemma in every sphere of social discourse. Money should NOT be a source of value. It should be a MEASUREMENT of value and modified in the most free and open market ways possible. That is the highest good that I can see right now. When money becomes the source of value, evil - that is, bad programming, enters into the matrix.
