    1 Timothy 6:9-10 NRSV
    The premise is an accusation from a party-goer that simply states "Money is the root of all evil." And, well, the author wasn't exactly Christian... I think the best application for this is in review of the current political climate, Bernie Sanders, etc.

    My Feedback

    "When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law." -Frederic Bastiat

    "I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."
    ― Russell Kirk, Author of The Conservative Mind
