On Rhetoric

I wonder, if someone else was named valedictorian of my class, if I could convince them, with cash or other such persuasions, to let me give the speech. Think someone would give it up?

I want to give that speech, dammit.

Oh, but what would I say?
I could discuss the complete lack of reliability and stability regarding the discipline "system" put into place. Or, perhaps, the chair-warmers that they call "counselors."
But the administration wouldn't like that very much.
I'm sure they would rather I focused on things like the knowledgeable teachers and abundance of high-level classes offered. That's boring, though.

I don't know what I'd say, but I bet everyone would love it.

Especially if I had green hair at the time.

Maybe I should take that speech class, if only it wasn't speech AND debate. Debating is fine, but I think they have to go these field trips and such.
I like rhetoric, I like talking to people. Or, rather, I like people listening to (and believing) me.

Edit:
I decided, if I become valedictorian, and give a speech to my entire graduating class, and their parents, and everyone else, I'm quoting Freebird.


Skynyrd!

Skynyrd! Indeed. I LOVE Skynyrd. Now, I must listen to their cd.
