A QUIET REVOLUTION:
HOW JUDICIAL DISCIPLINE ESSENTIALLY
ELIMINATED FOSTER CARE AND NEARLY WENT
UNNOTICED
Melissa Carter, Cristopher Church, & Vivek Sankaran
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.
