In no sense do I advocate evading or defying the law.. That would lead to anarchy.

All men have poetry in their hearts, and it is necessary for them, as much as possible, to express their feelings. For this they must have a medium, moving and pliant, which can refreshingly become their own, age after age. All great languages undergo change. Those languages which resist the spirit of change are doomed and will never produce great harvests of thought and literature. When forms become fixed, the spirit either weakly accepts its imprisonment or rebels. All revolutions consists of the within fighting against invasion from without.. All great human movements are related to some great idea.

It really explains a lot. His cavalier attitude towards imprisonment and even death penalties for people who make the same mistakes with drugs he once personally made, his relentless drive to subvert Democracy via election fraud, his removal of basic human rights for all Americans via the Patriot Act, his support of monopolization of all American Business, his tax giveaways to the wealthy while joblessness and poverty are at a level not seen since the days of Herbert Hoover, and his drive towards world domination via a refusal to build consensus with the rest of the world, have all been written off as neo-conservatism, but in reality, even the hardest of right wing ideologies couldn't account for all of the President's behavior.

The worst of it is that I am perpetually being punished for nothing; this governor loves to punish, and he punishes by taking my books away from me.

The difference between the past and the present is that individual freedom and security no longer fall to be protected solely through the D vehicle of common-law maxims and presumptions which may be altered or repealed by statute, but are now protected by entrenched constitutional provisions which neither the Legislature nor the Executive may abridge. It would accordingly be improper for us to hold constitutional a system which, as Sachs J has noted, confers on creditors the power to consign the person of an impecunious debtor to prison at will and without the interposition at the crucial time of a judicial officer.

I'm convinced that most men don't know what they believe, rather, they only know what they wish to believe. How many people blame God for man's atrocities, but wouldn't dream of imprisoning a mother for her son's crime?

Imprisonment is the form of punishment which may detrimentally affect not only the offender but also his family and his employment and because of its duration it can seldom be kept from becoming general public knowledge. It [..] can have a lasting demoralising effect on the character and personality of the offender. The loss of liberty, tedium, regimentation [..] which prison life entails, have a greater potentiality than a whipping for destroying the offender's self-esteem and the integrity of his character and for changing, for the worse, his way of life.
