I was told when asked to make this address that I should be bold. So I thought that like Captain James Tiberius Kirk, I might boldly go where no man had gone before but, I was then told that I should not be so bold as to upset the sponsors … and let’s face it I too, need to still have a job tomorrow and at least someone still willing to fund a show.
So if you appear in this speech, do not think unkindly of me. Just consider that provocation is necessary for change and for our very survival.
