Quote of the Day
Beware of socialism and nannystaters:
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may 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." ~ CS Lewis

Spoken like someone who has never lived under the tyranny of the robber barons.
I mean, really.

Choose your poison folks, it's Hillary or Obama.

Posted by: mudkitty at January 26, 2008 11:13 AMWow...I actually totally agree here, Pam. Awesome, I knew it would happen some day.
Morality-based intrusion into the choices about our bodies, who we want to marry, what we want to smoke within the confines of our homes, whether we wear seatbelts -- as long as the public has all the information, I think we should be able to make our own choices.
Plus CS Lewis is just a fascinating writer.
