Money is no object; most of it is a bunch of numbers in computers. When you take your nickels and dimes to the bank, the bank measures them with a Nicholson Dymometer and—ZAP!—virtualizes them in the Material Girl Currency Dematerializer, changing your change into ones and zeros, or as they say in England, oughts and ought nots.

The bottom line is that the root of all evil has grown with imperceptible slowness into the beating heart of human endeavor, and we should have used more fertilizer.
