Ah man! The headline had me curious. Please put it back up.

And good to see an old-timer from the 2002 days I enjoyed reading resurface.

Is this the quote you were aiming to discuss...

“Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under the omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons 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.”
Yes, that is the quote.
