Finding Nemo was wrong, because Marlin, the lost fish's father, would have turned into a female to protect the family after death of the mother, scientists have found.

Male clownfish, immortalised in the Disney film, change sex completely if their female mate is eaten or dies, research by marine biologists has shown.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

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.
