SendOk2 “The type and formula of most schemes of philanthropy or humanitarianism is this: A and B put their heads together to decide what C shall be made to do for D. The radical vice of all these schemes, from a sociological point of view, is that C is not allowed a voice in the matter, and his position, character, and interests, as well as the ultimate effects on society through C's interests, are entirely overlooked. I call C the Forgotten Man.” ~ William Graham Sumner (1840-1910) American classical liberal (now a branch of "libertarianism" in political philosophy), social scientist, professor of sociology, polymathSource: William Graham Sumner's Essay, "The Forgotten Man"http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Essays/Best/SumnerForgotten.htm
