"Thing that got me was not her list of things she hated, since she was obviously crazy as a Cyborg, but the fact that always somebody agreed with her prohibitions. Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws - always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up. Because not one of those people said: 'Please pass this so that I won't be able to do something I know I should stop.' Nyet, tovarishchee, was always something they hated to see neighbors doing. Stop them 'for their own good' - not because speaker claimed to be harmed by it."
Just as true now as it was in 1966 I guess.
If you recognize the novel that this passage is from, care to tell me why the whole thing is written in this "english as a second language" style when we know damn well that the author can speak perfect english?
