โOf 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 baronโs 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. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be โcuredโ against oneโs will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.โ

Iโm old, tired, and extremely pissed off at the state of the world.
As a former truck driver, former licensed psychiatric technician, and a former navy corpsman, I have a take like no other and Iโm not afraid to tell it like it is.
I guarantee that, if nothing, Iโm going to, at the very least, ruffle some feathers.
I now do back work for a living while posting memes, essays, and comments on Minds in my off time and Iโm really happy to be here.
