Thanks for posting the speech. It's been a while since I read it. This time through I found another nugget. Wouldn't it be nice if some SI threads adopted this little snippet as their motto? I'm beginning to think dignity and discipline are lost arts. Personally, my discipline frequently fails me (as in the mango Hagen-Dazs I found at the Fresh Fields this morning) so I no longer expect much from it, but I always hang tough for dignity.
