Simply put:

“A citizen may not be required to offer a ‘good and substantial reason’ why he should be permitted to exercise his rights. The right’s existence is all the reason he needs.”

We’ve seen chandeliers and clocks made from leftover beer bottles. Here’s an artist who creates very nice model cars from beer and soda cans. The level of detail is amazing.
