    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.

    If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

      Chico has retired to tend his wounds, having taken an intellectual thrashing on this forum. Perhaps as a result of his experience, some reason and rationality will permeate his foggy mind.

        Psalm 27

        Psalm 27
        Of David.

        1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
        whom shall I fear?
        The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
        of whom shall I be afraid?

        2 When evil men advance against me
        to devour my flesh,
        when my enemies and my foes attack me,
        they will stumble and fall.

        3 Though an army besiege me,
        my heart will not fear;
        though war break out against me,
        even then will I be confident.

        4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
        this is what I seek:
        that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
        all the days of my life,
        to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
        and to seek him in his temple.

        5 For in the day of trouble
        he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
        he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
        and set me high upon a rock.

        6 Then my head will be exalted
        above the enemies who surround me;
        at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
        I will sing and make music to the LORD.

        7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;
        be merciful to me and answer me.

        8 My heart says of you, "Seek his [b] face!"
        Your face, LORD, I will seek.

        9 Do not hide your face from me,
        do not turn your servant away in anger;
        you have been my helper.
        Do not reject me or forsake me,
        O God my Savior.

        10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
        the LORD will receive me.

        11 Teach me your way, O LORD;
        lead me in a straight path
        because of my oppressors.

        12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
        for false witnesses rise up against me,
        breathing out violence.

        13 I am still confident of this:
        I will see the goodness of the LORD
        in the land of the living.

        14 Wait for the LORD;
        be strong and take heart
        and wait for the LORD.

            Psalm 91

            Psalm 91

            1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
            will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

            2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
            my God, in whom I trust."

            3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
            and from the deadly pestilence.

            4 He will cover you with his feathers,
            and under his wings you will find refuge;
            his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

            5 You will not fear the terror of night,
            nor the arrow that flies by day,

            6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
            nor the plague that destroys at midday.

            7 A thousand may fall at your side,
            ten thousand at your right hand,
            but it will not come near you.

            8 You will only observe with your eyes
            and see the punishment of the wicked.

            9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
            even the LORD, who is my refuge-

            10 then no harm will befall you,
            no disaster will come near your tent.

            11 For he will command his angels concerning you
            to guard you in all your ways;

            12 they will lift you up in their hands,
            so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

            13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
            you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

            14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
            I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

            15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
            I will be with him in trouble,
            I will deliver him and honor him.

            16 With long life will I satisfy him
            and show him my salvation."

              In Proper English (not this modern rubbish):

              The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

              He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
              he leadeth me beside the still waters.

              He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the
              paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

              Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
              shadow of death; I will fear no evil: for thou
              art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
              comfort me.

              Thou preparest a table before me in the
              presence of mine enemies: thou anointest
              my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

              Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
              the days of my life; and I will dwell in the
              house of the Lord for ever.
