Where are the brilliant minds like C.S. Lewis today. He is so erudite, but so easy to understand and logical. If you get a chance to hear his live recording of The Four Loves, do it. It is magical.

    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.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://economics.gmu.edu/wew/quotes/alone.html"><B>-- C.S.
