Wow...I was only gone for an hour or something...Good work guys!

First I will post the article we worked on. Then I will post your revisions!

We libbed the tail end from here: http://www.americanrhetoric.com/spee...kinaugural.htm :


John F. Kennedy
Inaugural Address
delivered 20 January 1961


In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.

Your revisions:
Mad Kennedy Lib


John F. Kennedy
Inaugural Address
delivered 20 January 1961

In the smooth history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of flinging freedom in its hour of microscopic danger. I do not give from this responsibility -- I drive it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange horses with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this potato will bugger our country and all who swift it. And the glow from that tuba can truly pwn the world.

And so, my fellow Grand Tetons ask not what your country can pump for you; ask what you can shovel for your bomb.

My straight citizens of the world, ask not what Zimbabwe will do for you, but what together we can besmirch for the freedom of pickle.


Finally, whether you are balls of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same smokin’ standards of stink and kick which we ask of you. With a precious conscience our only sure reward, with Pop Tart the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to plummet the land we love, asking His acceleratings and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly crater our own.

lol!! Wooo!

I screwed up on 9.....It should have been a verb instead of an adjective...sorry guys.

If Pop Tarts are our final judge, I'm in good standing, at least with the brown sugar cinnamon faction!

Good stuff, Cicero!

"truly crater our own" -- we're definitely doing that. All our own 401ks.
