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--
The IPCC starts taking water from within. But don't worry, there are years of government cap-and-trade schemes, ethanol boondoggles, EPA power grabs, and unhinged lectures ahead of us before people start focusing on more realistic possibilities.
