The universal regard for money is the one hopeful fact in our civilization. Money is the most important thing in the world. It represents health, strength, honor, generosity and beauty. Not the least of its virtues is that it destroys base people as certainly as it fortifies and dignifies noble people. (Quote by - George Bernard Shaw)

All the things now enjoyed by civilization have been created by some man and sold by another man before anybody really enjoyed the ;benefits of them. (Quote by - James G. Daly)

The argument that this particular case is about money is the standard argument made in every civil case, because every civil case can only be about money.

The Bush administration consistently tells the public that surveillance is conducted only on terrorists and Americans communicating with terrorists; yet information obtained by credible media sources indicates that it is also spying on groups that support civil rights, animal rights and the environment. To suggest those groups are terrorists is an act of modern day McCarthyism. (Quote by - C. Dixon Osburn)
