"Most of the major ills of the world have been caused by well-meaning people who ignored the principle of individual freedom,...it is highly presumptuous of any mortal man to assume that he is endowed with such fantastic ability that he can run the affairs of all his fellow men better than they, as individuals, can run their own personal affairs. ...the harm done by ordinary criminals...is negligible in comparison with the agony inflicted upon human beings by the professional "do-gooders", who...would ruthlesslly force their views on all others--with the abiding assurance that the end justifies the means."-- Isabell Paterson, The God of the Machine (34-35)
