Congratulations, Dr. Burch

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

On Friday afternoon, Laura successfully defended her dissertation, and received her Ph.D. “with distinction”, meaning, in a nutshell, that she kicked some academic butt. Félicitations Docteur Burch! Eleanor and I are so proud of you!

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may 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.
C.S. Lewis
