I disagree...the "love" of money which produces greed is what causes those things not the money itself. That is much the same as saying that guns kill people, a gun can do nothing by itself...those who use it to kill are to blame.

I actually disagree on that & say that "money" is
one of the root of all evil... And yes money itself...
Money has a tendency to bring out the worst in people & not necessarily the ones with the money. People around you & the persons you come into contact with or never met.
Something that powerful that can start a chain reaction of nothing but sins i.e. hate, jealousy, greed, lust, pride, gluttony, & laziness has no choice to be a source to all evil.
You have ppl do stupid things not just for a whole lot of money or the love of money but just money itself. Money can change a person drastically & can make/turn desires strong from within that a person they never thought was there.
I agree that the love of money can be dreadful, but you can have someone who loves money, but not be greedy instead has a glutton for spending or better yet is a wealthy philanthropist who is trying to give back to mankind, but have others jealous or hating them cause they have money to give away like that.
I haven't got into full detail yet cause my time is cut short nor have I said what I believe is another root to all evil, which is religion, but that's for another time as for my later discussion. ^_^
