I think the PURE ppl took ISAC for a ride. And yet, that doesn't prove to me that they're acting out of bad motives. I say it because I think it true and because I think it explains a whole lot.
So many people seem to be trying to prove bad intentions on the part of others. I don't think the industry is based on a lot of bad
intentions. I think it's built on self delusion and the age-old quest for the holy higher purpose.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of it's victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busy-bodies. 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.

The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.
