Graduates, this isn't going to be another penny-a-dozen speech on how "you will enter" the real world--as your in the real world. Or the fallacy of "you can have any occupation or job you want if you try."
This isn't going to be a speech on how to be "good" stewards of mainstream go-along with it society and be told what (or what not) to consume, purchase, cherish, hate, love, vote, enable, disable by the mainstream religion of the TV, Media, Corporate America, Govt.-Mammon oriented-endorsed Religion, Celebs & Politicians.
This isn't going to be about the alarming statistics of teen sex, pregnancies, criminal activity, drinking, drugs, stds, tv-gaming-computer usage etc.; in which you learned from adults.
Dear Graduates of the Iron Range, for a few of you it will be easy at first, you will go to college, get a job out of college and get all those things that seem to make one happy as you follow the material cues. For the other followers you will make way less and struggle with many things, you will always be in the box as your DNA is structured for such.
The Graduates of whom I address are those who will put principle, honor, duty--what is right, before Material. To spend one's life competing against fellow student(s) on who makes more money, the prestige of title & accomplishment is living a life for and about what others think of you. This is exactly on how the Religion of Mainstream Material Society keeps you in order for them to thrive: for the 2% who hold 90% of this Nation's wealth.
A war for your mind has and is taking place. Millions of dollars has been just spent on you what to think and what not to think and question. This Nation isn't a Democracy, it's a Republic, anyone telling you it's the same thing is ignorant or a liar. Google: Democracy vs. Republic.
For those who will eventually wakeup, many of you aren't ready presently, for many a promise has been told if you do this and that--your fairy tale dreams will come true. I was in the same boat. Gen X was told just get that degree and be #1 and that great happy job will be awaiting for you and you can marry a Molly Ringwald. The Baby boomers sucked up the just vote for the mainstream and your pensions will be with you after you retire and then you can have "fun" like the 60's. The carrot on the stick.
Your advantage is you live in the Information Renaissance, when your ready ask all those questions, for the WWW will lead you right to it. Good Luck.
