Liberty Quotes - Dr. Fred Oerther, Butler D. Shaffer, C. S. Lewis

"Should we believe self-serving, ever-growing drug enforcement/drug
treatment bureaucrats, whose pay and advancement depends on finding more
and more people to arrest and 'treat'?  More Americans die in just one
day in prisons, penitentiaries, jails and stockades than have ever died
from marijuana throughout history. Who are they protecting? From what?"
-- Dr. Fred Oerther

"The State... has had a vested interest in promoting attitudes
that would tend to make us skeptical of our own abilities,
fearful of the motives of others, and emotionally dependent
upon external authorities for purpose and direction in our lives."
-- Butler D. Shaffer
Professor, Southwestern University School of Law
Source: Calculated Chaos, 1985

"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."
-- C. S. Lewis
(1898-1963), British novelist
