301--3rd period

So? Speeches? Rhetoric? Power? Shep...you had a really good observation yesterday. Elaborate for the class.

Oh, and if I don't start getting some coffee out of you, I'm going to get cranky. You can't spoil me for a few days then stop Boone. That's just mean.

"Do you want me to actually give the speech or something?" He asks, then realizes 'Stupid Question, Duh' and reached into his bag to pull out a printed piece of paper.

"...And some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. And we must rejoice as well, for surely this is the first time in our nation's history that a significant number of its religious leaders have chosen to move beyond the prophesying of smooth patriotism to the high grounds of a firm dissent based upon the mandates of conscience and the reading of history. Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us."
