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. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.

"A tree does not say: By age 30 I want this many leaves, to be this tall, this wide, to drop this many seeds, to know this many other trees.
It does not rush... beat itself up, put itself down, doubt or despair. A tree just grows.
This is why a tree knows peace."

That's an AWESOME idea! Especially to leave to the grandchildren!
Since I can't afford a 1956 Ferrari 410 Superamerica Series II, I'm thinking of an old Morris Minor Traveller (Shooting-Brake), sometimes known as a Morris Minor Woody, something like the photo.

That is awesome! My first car was a 1966 hardtop candy apple red Ford Mustang stick.
Loved that car!
