Hey---I wrote a speech that was inspired from a conversation I had with a friend--what do you think? |

I was talking to a friend of mine Friday about what I was writing for my speech and he suggested I make this point, expressing it in a cogent -- and I assumed spontaneous -- way and I wanted to weave the idea into my into my speech.
So here it is-- tell me what you think?

For another, yesterday's eloquence seems stilted today. There are too many big words. Keep 'em under two syllables.
