Hint: If Tom posts the next round, look at the collected works of Ayn Rand and Robert A. Heinlein first

*grin*

Actually, I thought the "Lazarus Long" quote in the CE thread about "mandatory MH screening" was pretty damn good. Even Heinlein could hit the mark when talking exclusively about individual liberties (as opposed to "taking liberties"... but we'll leave Time Enough for Love to rot, as it well and truly deserves).

And I'll gladly hand Tom the winner's accolades for your opening salvo, Art. I recognized it as probably Jefferson, having read American Sphinx, but I struck out regarding where he said it, and Tom got there first anyway.
