Oliver Wendell Holmes was an over-rated blow-hard who has nothing of use to say.
He was a piece of shit, made out to be of "value". You all have heard of his famous "you can't yell fire in a crowded theater" statement, when discussing the limits of free speech. What nobody mentions, is that he was putting the publishers of a Yiddish newspaper in jail, for daring to write, in a language that most Americans COULDN'T READ, that America should not be involved in the Great War (WW1).
The sack of shit JAILED them. Quote Hitler. I'd have more respect for you :P
