We choose our homecoming king and queen but we are not allowed to choose who speaks to us at our graduation. This seems silly to me.
(Come to think of it, Homecoming Kings and Queens itself sounds like Foolishness to me. Keep reading and you will probably see a future Foolishness…Or Is It? on this momentous issue.)
I ask you, what would we get if the students were allowed to select their Commencement speaker?…
- A Rap Artist named “Po Po Enough”.
- Barney, the longest serving talking and dancing purple dinosaur the world has ever known.
- John Dillinger the deceased killer who would be replaced by a live serial killer named Bruiser McKlintock (provided the Student Body President can arrange a jail break before the Commencement Ceremony).
Ah yes, that would be much better!
Would I kid u?

This is a very wise post - I couldn't agree more. It's sad that after 4 years of education, so many students still think of the university as a place designed for their personal entertainment. [Not all of them, obviously, but surely too many.]
