Well that depends on the way you took it.  How did you take it?

Ryan,
You cut me to the quick with that "towing the party line" crap.  
I'm
sure you didn't mean it the way I took it.  Right?

 Chris, Mike is towing the party line, which isn't really wrong I

 have said that once you've heard a banquet speech, you've heard 
them all.
 There's a kernel of truth in this idea.  Even Jernigan admitted 
that the
 banquet speeches were more or less similar in their content and 
purpose.
 However, you can learn a lot about where we were historically by 
listening
 to each speech.  A good example of this is, "A Corner of Time," 
from 1981,
 which high-lights our struggles with various individuals and 
organizations
 who opposed us.

 Another departure from the standard formula came in a trilogy of 
speeches
 from the mid-1970's in which Jernigan chose a specific focus for 
his
 premise.  Those are some of my favorites.
