I have watched this country **** opportunity after opportunity, to be the good guy and ride in on a white charger to save the save the day, and instead be selfish and short-sighted. America lacks big thinkers with long term objectives. They look no further than their feet and where they may make a buck. They don't care for the future and it shows in their actions (medicare, social security, the environment, the deficit, etc.). America needs new leadership that thinks on a global scale without profit entering into the equation. There is a time when you have to invest in the future, and for the America and the world, that time is now. That is what I will share with these graduates.

Make sure it is profane-laced!
BTW: Love the quote. Add this to it.
Representative democracy is a form of
democracy founded on the exercise of
popular sovereignty by the people's representants. It is a theory of
civics in which voters choose (in free, secret,
multi-party elections) representatives to act in their interests, but
not as their
proxies—i.e., not necessarily according to their voters' wishes, but with enough
authority to exercise
initiative in the face of changing circumstances. Another form of representative democracy involves impartial selection of representatives through
sortition.
