The first thing I wanna do is I wanna hear this class the greatest class to ever graduate the University of Rochester the class of 2012.
Let's hit it!
This is your day to take stock and congratulate yourselves.
You have successfully completed one of the major steps in life's long journey, and you've done it at one of the outstanding educational institutions in the world.
Over 50 years ago, I sat before you, the class of 1958.
Since I've put my 50 years in, it's time for a little bit advice.
Exercise your passion.
Seek out what turns you on.
Find something where you really enjoy what you do every morning.
If you love your work, you will never work.
After long hard years of work and study, you've made it!
This is your day of triumph; this is your day of joy.
All of us join in your celebration today.
You graduate into a world of accelerating change.
Do not fear this world.
You are unusually well prepared for it.
You possess unusually refined senses of self reliance and creativity.
That is the Rochester way.
Go forth with confidence and pride in your accomplishment, knowing that your faculty and all who have had a role nourishing your intellectual growth here are immensely proud of you.
Meliora.
To my fellow members of the class of 2012, thank you.
It has been an honor being a peer amongst you all as we learned and grew together over the past four years.
While we've all taken different paths to get to today's ceremony, it's also true that we have had many experiences together that unite our class.
Remember the experiences we have had together: the painted tunnels, your freshmen hall, your sports victories... for these are our roots.
But also feel empowered to move your life to the next level, for this is not the end and simply just the beginning.
I grew up in a different time and context where freedom was limited and gender roles were greatly constrained.
Indeed, my childhood was dominated by a lack of options, in a culture that made clear everyday that I was to be forever constrained by race, gender, and poverty.
I was told that I could not not aspire to a profession.
That I was not deserving of excellence in education, but few who espouse such views understood that a movement was taking hold that would change this reality.
For example, women today increasingly hold positions of prominence, choice, and parity.
And that progress and that progress while not complete is still improving.
The gender balance in this graduating is proof that women rock.
So today graduates, you have an immense and welcome burden of choice that many, in previous eras, lacked.
I exhort you to live up to the community principle so clearly articulated in this university's mission statement if your education has served you well, you will not shed its principles when you toss your hats into the air and return your academic robes.
Your education places a heavy burden upon you to use your knowledge to benefit society.
May you live with joyful discovery, challenging dilemmas, and uplifting choices that build your confidence in the blessings in life, liberty, and human dignity.
May your highest aspiration be to live consonant with the sacred trust you hold as an educated person to defend and advance the common good.
Congratulations to you all, and god speed.

When Should You Shoot a Cop?
That question, even without an answer makes most law-abiding taxpayers go into knee-jerk conniptions.
The indoctrinated masses all race to see who can be first and loudest, to proclaim that it is never okay to forcibly resist law enforcement.
In doing so, they also inadvertently demonstrate why so much of human history has been plagued by tyranny and oppression.
In an ideal world, cops would do nothing except protect people from thieves and attackers, in which case shooting a cop would never be justified
In the real world, however, far more injustice, violence, torture, theft, and outright murder has been committed in the name of "law enforcement," than has been committed in spite of it.
To get a little perspective, try watching a documentary or two about some of the atrocities committed by the regimes of Stalin or Lenin, or Chairman Mao, or Hitler, or Pol Pot or any number of other tyrants in history.
Pause the film when the jackboots are just about to herd innocent people into cattle cars or just about to gun them down as they stand on the edge of a ditch and then ask yourself the question
"When should you shoot a cop?"
Keep in mind, the evils of those regimes were committed in the name of "law."
And as much as the statement may make people cringe the history of the human race would have been a lot less gruesome if there had been a lot more "cop-killers" around to deal with the state mercenaries of those regimes.
People don't mind when you point out the tyranny that has happened in other countries but most have a hard time viewing their own country their own government and their own law enforcers in any sort of objective way
Having been trained to feel a blind loyalty to the ruling class of the particular piece of dirt they live on
Also known as patriotism and having been trained to believe that obedience is a virtue the idea of forcibly resisting "law enforcement" is simply unthinkable to many
Literally, they can't even think about it
And humanity has suffered horribly because of it
It is a testament to the effectiveness of authoritarian indoctrination that literally billions of people throughout history have begged and screamed and cried in the face of authoritarian injustice and oppression but only a tiny fraction have ever lifted a finger to try to stop it.
Even when people can recognize tyranny and oppression they still usually talk about "working within the system" the same system that is responsible for the tyranny and the oppression
People want to believe that "the system" will sooner or later provide justice
The last thing they want to consider is that they should
"illegally" resist that if they want to achieve justice they must become "criminals" and "terrorists" which is what anyone who resists legal injustice is automatically labelled
But history shows all too well that those who fight for freedom and justice almost always do so illegally i.e., without the permission of the ruling class.
If politicians think that they have the right to impose any law they want and cops have the attitude that as long as it's called "law" they will enforce it what is there to prevent complete tyranny?
Not the consciences of the law-makers or their hired thugs, obviously
And not any election or petition to the politicians.
When tyrants define what counts as "law" then by definition it is up to the law-breakers to combat tyranny.
Pick any example of abuse of power whether it is the fascist so called "war on drugs" the police thuggery that has become so common the random stops and searches now routinely carried out in the name of security such as at airports border checkpoints that aren't even at the border sobriety checkpoints, and so on or any other example.
Now ask yourself the uncomfortable question
