Here's my .02p
By definition, the more' controlled society would not be a  _free society_.  It
would be controled by the tyranny of conformism, the greatest tyranny of all,
for from it there is  _no_  escape. Freedom includes the freedom to be bad.
Without the possibility of being bad there could be no good, there would only
exist entities which contained no fault or virtue in their personalities ; if
such automata could be said to have personalities. The passion which leads to
great genius and depravity would be forever stilled into a grey, mundane,
functionary existence... like the workers of Huxley's Brave New World... is this
an enviable existence? Who 's first on the table? you?
