As Yvonne noted much of the content was the same impressive ideas and reflections from Pepperdine. But, almost beyond the content, his calling for finding common ground was there too - as was his call to activism. What seemed a little different, maybe because this was Massachusetts, was the tone. He spoke in a strong, but somewhat soft voice - as if in conversation with young friends or relatives. All of the questions were answered directly, honestly and with a lot of respect to the audience. The audience also applauded him more than the article would have suggested and laughed at his various jokes.

This was a speech of a man, secure in his own skin and place in history. At the end he told the kids - among other things to trust themselves, listen to their gut, connected to their heart.
