As we listened to the meritorious goals heaped on the recent graduates, so they might achieve goals the speaker�s generation has found impossible, we could not help but think, why doesn�t somebody come out and tell the youthful aspirants what the real challenge is? Like it or not, today�s world, as well as many another age, is conducted by two primary forces: wealth and power, and, other than resort to firearms, power springs from wealth.

Given the current state of America�s feelings about the comeuppances of the Republican tenure, there is actually some likelihood that the dedicated duo could once again be frolicking in the realms of Presidential empowerment.
