Friday’s Quote – from Gandhi

“Good government is the most dangerous government, because it deprives people of the need to look after themselves.”

Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948)

So it seems that Gandhi would never have defended Gordon Brown’s big government welfare programs, even if the poor would be the beneficiaries, but was more of a libertarian.  The ends of poverty relief would not justify the means of subjugating free will.
