You'd better believe it!

C.S.Lewis had the number of the LEGALISTS, who take the joy out of living for everyone whose lives they have a chance to impact. They were called, "busy-bodies" in my grandmother's day. They are called the "politically correct" today.

This is WHO they ARE (in or out of a "church" organization). They are the "good" people:

"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." ~ C.S. Lewis
