What You Can, Like, Do

"Please, please do what you can to cure the verbal virus that seems increasingly rampant among your generation...Just imagine if in his inaugural address John F. Kennedy had said, 'Ask not what your country can, you know, do for you, but what you can, like, do for your country actually,' "

~ David McCullough, in his commencement address to Boston College's class of 2008 today.
