“Security… the most vital of all interests. Nearly all other earthly benefits are needed by one person, not needed by another; and many of them can, if necessary, be cheerfully foregone, or replaced by something else; but security no human being can possibly do without… cannot be had, unless the machinery for providing it is kept unintermittedly in active play.” Mill would of hated the Purge movies.

Mill clearly wasn’t a bodybuilder
