Lou Brancaccio really messed up in his column “Can we eliminate goat bones?” (The Columbian, July 6). He left out the most important and key word in his biblical quotation. In 1 Timothy 6:10, which he was actually quoting, it is the “love of money which is the root of all evil.” Money is an exchange item only; it is the love of money which is the problem, which destroys our value systems because, as the Bible says, “No man can serve two masters.”
