"A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both." - Milton Friedman

[WalterBright → jocaal]

Good one! Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote something similar:

Enforcing equity means nobody has freedom. When people are free, there is no equity.

You might want to read up on Solzhenitsyn. Wrote some very important books, but not someone you want to quote on ethics.

[WalterBright → mmooss]

He's right on this one.

Right or wrong, that's not an appeal to an authority.
