So sage a speech is wonderful from one so young. In my opinion, you ought to go into Parliament yourself, and advocate the great cause. Is it with the present government that you find fault?The next thing that happens after you have done a noble deed is, you either regard it as a reward of virtue or as a punishment for having been foolish.
