Congrats on valedictorian mr smarty pants, probably soon to be dr. smarty pants.

Send me the link please, i'm sure it's an interesting speech.  Fun for us too, as we are playing a "where's Waldo" with the Austrian reference

I'd be interested in hearing it. Congratulations!

If I had a cake and ate it, it can be concluded that I do not have it anymore. HHH

I was valedictorian of my high school. They did not let me speak. Asshats.

You're probably right. When I turned up to graduation I was wearing same clothes I was wearing to help a friend repair a car a few hours before. The people who organised the event weren't too happy with me. The guy who won 10 awards is covered in oil and dirt. hehehe

Congratulations on your inspirational speech, your scientific endeavors, and of course, your dedication to liberty, Wheylous.

In addition to all the new knowledge you spoke of, I am filled with optimism when I think that never before will so many bright young libertarians (such as yourself) have been unleashed upon the world of ideas.

And, "twenty years from now," who knows what the consequences for freedom shall be? Here's to a "jaw-dropping" future - Salute!

"We are living in a time of great innovation, great opportunity. If we fall asleep and wake up in 20 years," then all of that opportunity will have been wasted because we had been sleeping on the job. Don't fall asleep on the job!

 

thats what you should have said...good speech, brotha!

"If men are not angels, then who shall run the state?"
