Considerations of mere utility weigh little in the balance against the higher benefits of civilization.

I have a great respect for the flag, but if the government passed a law saying that I had to pledge allegiance to the flag, I don't think I would do it. I've always felt that I lived in a country...where if I wanted to worship God as a Baptist, I could do so. If I were an atheist, I could be one. If I wanted to be a Catholic but was born a Jew, there's no condemnation...from a government authority.

Every science is occupied in detecting and describing the natural laws which are inflexibly observed by the objects treated in the Science.
William Stanley Jevons
