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.

In Other News, 7 Percent Of Illinois Voters Would Vote For A Dead Cat If It Had A "D" By It's Name

Seven percent of voters, and a full twenty percent of black voters, still approve of Blago as governor.
