...Harvard tradition." Does the tradition not allow a joke or two, and horror of horrors, even a little profanity. You're correct Mr. Jones, Gibson did not have any grand theories of wisdom or life-altering realizations, and maybe by your standards that means his speech was worthless. Well forgive me if I don't buy into your standards, but I thought Mel Gibson was generous to donate his time, and worth listening to if only because of his humor and joviality.
