False is the idea of utility... that would take fire from men because it
burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils,
except the destruction of liberty.
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1775
Still one more thing, fellow citizens: a wise and frugal
governme which shall refrain men from injuring one another,
which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own
pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the
mouth of labor the bread it has earned....
