I suspected this thread would get TWOC'ed as a platform for making personal attacks...
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. 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.
Hello, I'm suffering from mental block atm, and I am looking for a word to describe something.
The concept is "Someone who stands on their soapbox and tells everyone else what to do." Eg, a politican telling everyone else how they should live their lives.
I thought the word I was after was "procrastinate", but that means to "put off or delay something."
However, the word I am looking for sounded something like procrastinate, I am sure.
Any ideas ?
(and I just know someone's going to say something like <Poster Name> :-)
Gordon Brown?
We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.
