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.

Why is 'Charlie but my finger' a related video??
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Very movingThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Bless you all (and you can take that in a religious or non-relgious way, it's up to you and your faith).
I had one lady email me after watching and say :
“I live with my partner, and I have MS. He is very dismissive of me, and our relationship has deteriorated badly. Every time I try to explain what it is like, I well up in tears and cannot speak.
He doesn’t understand.
I showed him your video last night and he watched in stunned silence, and then hugged me. I feel I can talk now. Thank you so much”
I feel all warm and fuzzy
