Dear Graduates: You're screwed.

This graduation speech given by Bill Moyers at Hamilton College lays it on the line. But why should Bill apologize for the screwed up world that college graduates are entering into? All of those misguided Bush voters should be the ones apologizing:
"Frankly, I'm not sure anyone from my generation should be saying
anything to your generation except, 'We're sorry. We're really sorry for the mess you're
inheriting. We are sorry for the war in Iraq. For the huge debts you will have to pay for
without getting a new social infrastructure in return. We're sorry for the polarized
country. The corporate scandals. The corrupt politics. Our imperiled democracy. We're
sorry for the sprawl and our addiction to oil and for all those toxins in the environment.
Sorry about all this, class of 2006. Good luck cleaning it up.'"
