Lesson #1256 - Political Speeches

True, there are still many of great speeches - but partly because of how divided everyone is on politics all the time, when you factor in the ever decreasing size of attention spans, none will be as memorable beyond short lines here and there. In the future, every speech will be fifteen words. Or less. Probably less. All of which leads us into . . .

THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK: In the future, candidates will have fifteen words or fewer to state your case to win political office. So, if you are the one running for office . . . what is your brilliant fifteen word speech that will convince the masses to shower you with love and adoration and votes?

You may interpret this anyway you like - if you prefer a strictly visual route, that's fine; if you prefer a written answer, you have 15 words or less. Email your homework in with your name and location with the subject line"HOMEWORK: SPEECH" to be received no later than Thursday, 12/15, at noon ET. Best answer wins and will be posted here on Friday (with the following week's assignment to be handed out then). Enjoy.
