Of all 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 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 own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis
First is was the smokers, then it was junk food, then it was fat, and now it's baby milk coming under the baleful CCTV eye of the Thoughtpolice.
"It's for your own good" must be the most chilling sentence ever uttered.
