"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely
exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would
be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some
point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment
us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Note (2008)
I am able to gain full access to Heritage
Quest by entering
the barcode from the back of my local library card (aka my "institution").
Check the back of your library card and try it. If a no-go, then I suggest
that you inquire at your local library for assistance to utilize this excellent
research tool. |

About
(CIS) The Centre for Independent Studies
is the leading independent public policy 'think tank' within Australasia.
The CIS is actively engaged in support of a free enterprise economy and
a free society under limited government where individuals can prosper and
fully develop their talents. By critical recommendations to public policy
and encouraging debate amongst leading academics, politicians and journalists,
the CIS aims to build a better society.
In April 1976, Greg Lindsay the founder
of The Centre for Independent Studies, wrote to Professor Lauchlan Chipman
of Wollongong University regarding his plans to form a centre to 'promote
the study of liberty'. Months later Chipman delivered the Centre's inaugural
seminar Liberty, Justice and the Market, and the CIS was up and running.
Since then, the Centre has produced
valuable research work which has shaped and influenced public policy. We
are proud to be associated with some of the greatest leaders in business
and academia as visiting lecturers or as CIS members, staff and Board of
Directors. This section contains information on CIS membership, staff and
other information
