"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 won't be praying for you, though you're as boring as many of the faux Christian wingnuts.
Well, Katherine, Okay. It's certainly your right and privilege not to pray for me.
But I do hope you will find the time to at least give thanks for and never take for granted your wonderful First Amendment Freedoms of expression which include: your right of free speech, and also your right to choose what you will or won't listen to and read.
And your freedom to walk away from bores like me is never to be taken lightly. You are greatly blessed.
