[Matchett-PI]

"Perhaps we should all model our thinking, opinions and lives around skits on Saturday Night Live."

The fact that you aren't ABLE to recognize yourself as the self-righteous mentality that is being depicted in the SNL "Church Lady", is even more hilarious that Laura Bush's great jokes were.

But C.S. Lewis DID recognize such mentalities for what they are and wrote this::

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under live robber barons than under omnipotent moral busibodies. 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."

Very dramatic quotation indeed.

Please quote a passage from Lewis in which he describes "having a different opinion than Dana Carvey" as "tyranny."

Happy hunting.
