My friends and my neighbors. My brothers and my sisters.
Today I come before you, not to judge you for the color of your skin nor the gender of your sex. I do not judge you for your age nor for your intellect.
Today I judge you for your respect.
The respect you show your peers. The respect you show your elders. The respect you show your fellow man.
Today I judge you for your values.
The value you place on the pleasures of yourself over the safety of others. The value you place on entertainment over life. The value you place on two hours over fifty years.
Today I judge you for your hate.
The hate you give for kids making minimum wage. The hate you give for those that stand in the way of your pleasures. The hate that you give for people that call you on cheating the system.
Today, I judge every man, woman, and child who came to the nine o'clock show in Brunswick.
And I judge them animals.
