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. -C.S.

I appreciated your article, especially the last line, "Real generosity is voluntary and flows from the goodness of an individual, not the coercive power of the state." That really bears repeating. I hope everyone remembers that... and practices it!
