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.

I don't think liberals are trying to do anything for our own good. I think that there is a severe psychological error in some people (liberals!) that makes them absolute, total control freaks. They get their rocks off by controlling every aspect of other people's lives.
They don't care about going good for people, they merely enjoy watching people bend to their will.
