As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Independent Institute,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“Of all the 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.

Lewis

My Commentary: It’s all for the “greater good” ! 😉
