"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

Never forget that freedom is a tenuous propostition at best...epecially if you happen to be Polish. Ever heard of Pulaski Day? Wonder why Australia's highest peak is named Mt Kosciusko? A guy named Arthur Chrenkoff has the answers:

There is an old Polish motto that says "For your freedom and ours." Many who live in advanced Western societies take their security and prosperity for granted. Poles, who've experienced so little of either over the past two centuries, are much more aware of how precious and precarious freedom is. They also understand that freedom is indivisible; that increasing it even in the remotest corner of the world enriches the whole of humanity. And so, for the past 250 years, Polish emigres and exiles have been involved in many a struggle for independence and liberty around the world – fighting for "your freedom" if they weren't always able to fight for theirs.
