Addition wise there's only a good quote for the sidebar, courtesy of Laban in the comments over at Julia's. It dovetails very nicely with my last post and with the incessant bloody nannying that we see so much of today, though I wasn't familiar with it and had to google to see who said it.
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.How bloody true.
