It seems vaguely familiar, so I've probably read it before (my Lewis stage was so long ago that by now the ideas I learned from him are indistinct from my own in my mind).<br /><br />On the contrary; thanks very much for the comments! They were all quite enjoyable to read.Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714371500752756536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556908470111862027.post-42311000036420881312012-01-02T23:45:54.758-05:002012-01-02T23:45:54.758-05:00Chamberlain has my vote for coolest American we...Chamberlain has my vote for coolest American we've produced. Lewis echoes Adams' sentiments a bit in this passage: "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would 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 own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason." I'll be quiet now, sorry for the slew of comments, just enjoyed stumbling on this blog. Good stuff!...Mark Mahaffeyhttp://mapologist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
