Commencement Address at Rockford College in Rockford, Illinois

This transcript is fascinating, as it also transcribes the catcalls, heckling and horn-blowing(??? Who takes a horn to a commencement?). What becomes clear is a total inability on the part of the graduating hecklers to understand a nuanced arguement. Clearly detailing the inellectual arridity of the Christian Right and its footsoldiers in Amerika, Hedges words would be taken as boringly mainstream anywhere else in the world.

The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas-covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think that this is normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.
