Nicely put. The lust for something not yet possessed is A root of evil. I was just watching CSI tonight and it was about a case in witch a young girl was taken advantage of, if you get what I'm saying. In that case it was a lust for something entirely different from power or money.
As for other roots of evil, I think it is a matter of how a person's mind works. If they have a conscience or not, how far they are willing to go to get what they want. Whether thats another root or the same one expressed in different words I dont know, but thats another way to look at it.
