“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.”
—C. S. Lewis, ‘God in the Dock: Essays on Theology and Ethics This is not a steel rod I’m beating you with, I’m just showing you how much I love you…

But you knew that already..

Every time I hear any partisan talk they always claim whatever it is they want to do is actually good for the people they want to have to do it to. Republicans are not excluded from that.

But you knew that already.. You mean laws that say, prohibit murder, cause, like, that's usually a good law for a society to have? Those laws? Every law by definition legislates some definition of 'morality'. The real question, is which side of the morality fence do people fall on?
