For

Rearrange

''Free societies ... are societies in motion,
and with motion comes tension, dissent, friction. Free people strike sparks,
and those sparks are the best evidence of freedom’s existence.''

inconvenient. But that is besides the point. Inconvenience does not absolve the
government of its obligation to tolerate speech."

"I like to believe that people in the
long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I
think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had

~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
"I became convinced that noncooperation
with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good. No other
person has been more eloquent and passionate in getting this idea across than
Henry David Thoreau. As a result of his writings and personal witness, we are
the heirs of a legacy of creative protest."
~ Martin Luther King,
Jr, from his Autobiography, Chapter 2
