This is a twin-headed assault here, and we need to defend ourselves on both sides.

    I couldn't even finish it. Let's take money out of the equation and then everyone will be pure and unable to be evil and we will all be giving and sharing humans. It's money's fault that there are pimps and drug dealers (omg!)... Let's FORCE goodness...that'll work. Brilliant...just brilliant. Kum ba ya and all that other junk.
