Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants, it is the creed of slaves.
~ William Pitt The Younger
I know of no evil that ever existed, nor can imagine any evil to exist, worse than the tearing of seventy or eighty thousand persons every year from their own land.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement on human rights. It is the argument of tyrants, it is the creed of slaves.
