“Only you can ultimately break that cycle. Only you can make sure the democracy you inherit is as good as we know it can be,” Obama told more than 10,000 cap-and-gown-clad graduates gathered for the rite of passage. “But it requires your dedicated, informed and engaged citizenship.”

No, Cha I did not go to Brown, but we took an apartment close to there and it was a pretty rough area. My friend Mary's brother had a buisness down there and offered us jobs for the summer. We all were going to college in western Mass. We did have our fun though, and we made friends with a sweet guy that had a very large St Bernard. They watched out for us!
