“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
--C.S. Lewis –
Have a great Friday!
These words are very poignent in todays times in Canada. While I am fed up with the Liberal crookery, I also have distain for the conservative higher morality that they would perpetrate on unwilling Canadians. I am not sure if I should thank you for this quote, but it has made me rethink who I would vote for in the upcoming election here in Canada. Wow!
