a nice little paragraph

Yo, yo. Still in school and still not sleeping; it should all be over by Thursday.

So we're in the midst of writing a paper and we came across this gem. Thought we'd share.

"The restraint is not small when it is considered what was restrained. The right is a national right, federally guaranteed. There is some modicum of freedom of thought, speech and assembly which all citizens of the Republic may exercise throughout its length and breadth, which no State, nor all together, nor the Nation itself, can prohibit, restrain or impede. If the restraint were smaller than it is, it is from petty tyrannies that large ones take root and grow. This fact can be no more plain than when they are imposed on the most basic rights of all. Seedlings
planted in that soil grow great and, growing, break down the foundations of liberty."
