I don't know of any liberals who think this way.
And I think it would be more accurate to suggest---if you are to say that liberals are about control---that conservatives/libertarians are about selfishness/ignorance.
At this point, I'm not sure what else to say here other than that I agree far more with filtherton than with the OP.
