- WalterBright 2y agoGood one! Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote something similar: Enforcing equity means nobody has freedom. When people are free, there is no equity.
- mmooss 2y agoYou might want to read up on Solzhenitsyn. Wrote some very important books, but not someone you want to quote on ethics.
- WalterBright 2y agoHe's right on this one.
- mmooss 2y agoRight or wrong, that's not an appeal to an authority.
