re: #161 Frenchy
Yep, and this sort of mentality, money above ALL else, is behind many of our country’s most serious ills…everything from the cost of healthcare, the gradual erosion of our education system, the food supply, etc.
How did it get to be this bad though?
I’d say it all goes to the core of man and some of our earliest morals.
Try the Seven Deadly Sins. Even though they are associated with religion, I believe they hold true for everyone.
Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth.
