Lewis's analysis of "for our own good" was quite prophetic. Let's see. What political party wants to micro-manage every aspect of our lives, protecting us from ourselves as though we're incapable of deciding what to drive, eat, drink, buckle-up, speak, joke about, sensitively tolerate, or relieve parents of having to teach their children to believe?
All in good conscience, of course.
