No, but I do often wonder what Jesus would say to the middle-aged man driving the Ford Mustang with the license plate frame that reads WWJD.

Have you ever wondered, What this world be like if society treated the cravings of power over another as a mental illness instead of allowing it to flourish?

That doesn't seem logical to me. The cause of crime is not money. Even for strictly finaincial crimes, the cause is not money. In the case of financial crimes, the cause is greed, not money. And in the case of crimes not involving money, i.e. crimes of passion, the existence or absence of money has no bearing on it at all.

If I were to make up a sweeping platitude about crime and money, I would say something more along the lines of "if there were no crime, there would be no need for money".

Money is not the problem, its the desire for things of value at the complete, or near complete disregard for others.

Although it's close, I don't think that is the problem either. I think it is just simply the disregard of others, in any way and for any reason. That is what greed is all about - "I want what I want and no one and nothing else matters". It doesn't matter whether it's a posession or a location or a title or anything. It is that "want" that gives it value.
