How's the water?

 Did anyone listen to the commencement address? For folks who examine and hash out every detail of audio equipment.....not to equally examine your motivations is pure sloth and smugness. 
Fuzztone...are you making a joke about his battle with depression which he ultimately lost? If so poor taste, bad form, and callous to the extreme. 

One more thing Chuck. It seems that blather is your current word of the week. Why not tweak it up a notch to palaver? 
(How about that current reference? And I wasn't even trying.)

Putting a value on status
Will cause people to compete
Hoarding treasure
Will turn them into theives
Showing off possessions
Will disturb their daily lives
Thus the Sage rules
By stilling minds and opening hearts
By filling bellies and strengthening bones
He shows people how to be simple
And live without desires
To be content 
And not look for other ways
With the people so pure
Who could trick them?
What clever ideas could lead them astray?
Lao Tzu
