The sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled to do or forbear because it will be better for him to do so, because it will make him happier, because, in the opinion of others, to do so would be wise, or even right.

John Stuart Mill

Writing

It used to be that I spent a lot of time in my current job writing. Well a lot might be overdoing it. I probably spent the equivalent of a day a week writing papers, reports, minutes, letters etc. I spend fewer hours writing now. Far too much time spent talking, a lot more than I spend listening. I do like to write though. I am thinking I should blog to write. How precious of me. How very Richard Herring.
