Shepherds and Sheep. Thomas Sowell deflates Cass Sunstein’s argument that our “betters” should tell us how to live our lives: “Implicit in the wide range of efforts on the left to get government to take over more of our decisions for us is the assumption that there is some superior class of people who are either wiser or nobler than the rest of us.” There ain’t, but that don’t stop ’em from thinking there is. “The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.” – Albert Camus

"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 own conscience."
-- C.S. Lewis

Nice quote too. I see your personal troll is relentless. Too bad it isn't smart enough to post.
That was my hometown, Rochester. Bringing Jolt to school was a big deal for us
Someone needs to deflate Sunstein, he's a fool.
American Revolution? What American Revolution?
