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

  C.S. Lewis

en I think the investigation is the right step. I don't think the issue is punishment, I think it's: 'Shouldn't the players be called to task for cheating, even if there is no punishment?' I think baseball has to recapture the moral high ground.

en The idea of a good society is something you do not need a religion and eternal punishment to buttress; you need a religion if you are terrified of death
  Gore Vidal

en Catholicism is not a soothing religion. It's a painful religion. We're all gluttons for punishment.
