Most of the major ills of the world have been caused by well-meaning people who ignored the principle of individual freedom, except as applied to themselves, and who were obsessed with fanatical zeal to improve the lot of mankind-in-the-mass through some pet formula of their own. The harm done by ordinary criminals, murderers, gangsters, and thieves is negligible in comparison with the agony inflicted upon human beings by the professional do-gooders, who attempt to set themselves up as gods on earth and who would ruthlessly force their views on all others - with the abiding assurance that the end justifies the means.

This is something that, in the last few years, has been turned into an issue that never existed. It’s never been with us.

I love her ‘80s and ’90s style, but back then, everyone seemed kind of obsessed with being perfect on camera, you know? that’s not right for me. I’m a lot more candid.

I will never not drink on TikTok.’ She doesn’t get it.

Most political coverage, and this is pre-age-of-Donald Embracing Trump, has been obsessed with personalities, obsessed with horse races, obsessed with scandal to the detriment of trying to inform the public about issues, but right now, people are paying over five bucks a gallon for gas, some families can't find formula for their infants, there's a war still raging in Urkaine and inflation is out of control. One would hope that both the politicians and the media would focus more on these.
