That the love of money was the root of evil?

Whoever it was - I agree with him/her. As we watch and listen to the Katrina events - rising bankruptcies, erosion of the middle class and an eye opening to stark poverty via Katrina and the tsunami.....I recall a tv program years ago - it was a Star Trek (hehehe - trekie here!) and the captain was explaining that the Earth/humans had evolved to the point where money was no longer relevant.

Would be nice.....wouldn't it? Get off the rat race of materialism and the love of money and things. What would it take to evolve there? A new abundant energy source? One of those nifty replicators where you state - "computer - coffee, black" And it miraculously appears......

That is the kind of society I dream of - one where money does not exist - because it is unnecessary - obsolete.

Thoughts anyone? Tell me I am nuts......
