From one of my all time favorite authors:

"Uh, sir, why not go - well, go the limit? Require everyone to serve and let everyone vote?"

"Young man, can you restore my eyesight?"

"Sir? Why, no, sir!"

"You would find it much easier than to instill moral vitue - social responsibility - into a person who doesn't have it, doesn't want it, and resents having the burden thrust upon him..."


- Robert Heinlein, "Starship Troopers"
