I though that he gave an absolutely outstanding speech that about 5% of the
audience picked up on.  He started out by posing a view of contemporary
society and moved on to suggest changes and improvements to it.
Unfortunately, a lot of people (the meaning-of-lifers) seem to have been
completely in awe of him.  Apparently this didn't happen as much in the
small-group session, but there were still a lot of people who just missed his
point.

I liked his speech a WHOLE bunch more than Spike Lee's speech last year; I was
just bored by hearing about Mr. Lee's life.  I expected something more
meaningful, which I think we got with Mr. Jones.
