THE MICHAEL Ramirez cartoon of Dec. 29 depicts a character designated as the personification of evil animated by various supposed roots labeled as “pop culture,” “dissolution of the family,” etc.
Pointedly missing is any mention of the love of money, as declaimed in 1 Timothy 6:10, “For the love of money is the root of all evil.” Without this well known yet seldom heeded biblical verse, the cartoon has no cultural reference.

AMEN. Well said. It is true of the gun issue. It is true of the financial meltdown. It is true of our problems with the military-industrial complex.
To underscore; it is not money in and of itself, but the LOVE of money that is evil.
