http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSIQszUAvowI have to admit...when I heard that John Legend was giving a commencement speech at U. Penn I paused. Here are a few words from his speech.
The people who created these crises or allowed them to happen either didn't look hard enough for the truth, or didn't listen to those voices that could tell them where the truth lived.
We lost thousands of lives and spent billions (possibly trillions) of dollars fighting in and rebuilding Iraq, all based on the false premise that there were weapons of mass destruction or that Saddam Hussein was in cahoots with Al qaeda and caused 9/11.
All falsehoods that were allowed to poison the debate while dissension and fact-checking came too little, too late.
We've spent trillions of dollars bailing out banks with phantom profits that were selling financial products whose values had no grounding in reality.
Chuuuuch!! Go ahead Legend...he laid it down.
Enjoy.
