How uplifting.
I hate poems that don’t rhyme.

Worth a look see.

My goodness, this woman could be hung by her own words regarding power and power-sharing. What a freaking hypocrite.

[Alberta's Child]

Sounds like a typical thought pattern for a 1960s college student. In all of those words, I don't think she actually said a damned thing.

I'm more interested in reading HilLIARy's Senior Thesis. It's supposedly under VERY tight wraps.

HRC is an ODB, and an ODB she will always be.

ODB=Old Dou#hebag).

I got through more than half of this but........ can you PLEASE interpret this for me. I must not be anywhere near as smart as the smartest woman in the world. Am I dense? Can't understand anything.......

"integrity, trust ... trite and old"

No wonder she's all screwed up!

[mrustow]

The final section could only be called a "poem" in the sense of being pc doggerel.

To be educated to freedom must be evidenced in action, and here again is where we ask ourselves, as we have asked our parents and our teachers, questions about integrity, trust, and respect. Those three words mean different things to all of us. Some of the things they can mean, for instance: Integrity, the courage to be whole, to try to mold an entire person in this particular context, living in relation to one another in the full poetry of existence. If the only tool we have ultimately to use is our lives, so we use it in the way we can by choosing a way to live that will demonstrate the way we feel and the way we know. Integrity -- a man like Paul Santmire. Trust. This is one word that when I asked the class at our rehearsal what it was they wanted me to say for them, everyone came up to me and said "Talk about trust, talk about the lack of trust both for us and the way we feel about others. Talk about the trust bust." What can you say about it? What can you say about a feeling that permeates a generation and that perhaps is not even understood by those who are distrusted? All they can do is keep trying again and again and again. There's that wonderful line in East Coker by Eliot about there's only the trying, again and again and again; to win again what we've lost before.

Huh??? Was she high? Or just a babbling idiot? Oh well, she obviously had what it takes to be a politician, even then--in other words, the ability to go on and on and on, without saying anything. The fact that she does it so inarticulately makes one wonder how she could have been selected, out of 400 students, to give this address. She must have had extensive files on the other students...

What a terrible diatribe. Disjointed, said nothing.

But then we have to remember 1969. She was probably at the podium looking down into the blue haze of pot smoking pseudo bra-burning neo feminists, and this total drivel probably made sense to them.

You know, it's for the children, you know!
