This long dead man's words, even in the boring education document that I read them from, helped me solidify all emanings and make all associations. I wanted to share these two passages with you so that you might, perhaps take your own meanings from them. Although he was a Supreme Court Justice his opinions have little to nothing to do with actual law. They are philosphy, and poetry, and magic in grammatical form. Instead of magic potions or healing drams Wendell Holmes uses salves of common sense. And he is the only man in politics, so far, in all my studies, that I actually agree with in all respects of the word.

"It is an experiment as all life is an experiment. Every year if not every day we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge...that we loathe to believe to be fraught with death." - Abrams v. U.S. 1919

"Every idea is an incitement. It offers itself for belief and if believed is acted on unless some other belief outweighs it, or some failure of energy stifles the movement at its birth. The only difference between the expression of an opinion and an incitement in the narrower sense is the speaker's enthusiasm for the result. Eloqunce may set fire to reason." - Giltow v. New York 1925
