        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 consciences.
