--------------------
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
Claret is the liquor for boys; port for men; but he who aspires to be a hero must drink brandy. -----Samuel Johnson
Anyone may do anything; so long as it does not detrimentally affect others who have not consented to be detrimentally affected by it.
