I care about true things. - Rationalization has replaced rational thought among too many Thought Leaders. - We are not living in an Infromation Age; we are living in a Misinformation Age. - Beware the Straw Man. - I don't hate anybody. I love everyone and spend most of my time being terribly disappointed. - No one is guilty of stuff they didn't do. - Skin color is only skin deep. - Lover of the semicolon.
โOf 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 baronโs 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. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be โcuredโ against oneโs will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.โ
