His speeches are full of hope and determination for the future, and they're often inspiring. But the concrete achievements he talks about are not anywhere close to completion. His problems is that he seems to think that these promises are fulfilled simply by making speeches about them, and more speeches about the next bout of promises. This cannot even be called a vicious circle. Instead, it's more like a long, ever-lasting and dreary...speech. read more » Copenhagen climate change circus December 2, 2009 — by Arnav Dugar The international community is in concord over one statement regarding climate change: it is a problem that needs to be addressed.

The day before, they had homework to do, tests to study for, college applications to fill out. But we don't have Veterans Day as an excuse for students not to have to go to school or catch up on homework.
