Fellow colleagues, distinguished members of the press, ladies and gentlemen  I would like to take this opportunity to personally and humbly thank each and every one of you  For joining us at this particular event  It is my hope that we can utilize this meeting of the minds  To successfully convey the essence of our platform to you, a grand and noble audience    As I look out among the faces, I reflect  Taking console in the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt who said,  "We have nothing to fear but fear itself"    Paranoia is a disease unto itself, and may I add, the person standing next to you  May not be who they appear to be, so take precaution    A mind is a terrible thing to waste, this is true  Many a young person has fallen prey to the substances that alter the perspective  Of any right thinking individual  The problem with the youth today is, because of their inexperience with the world,  They cannot attempt to grasp the ideals set forth by myself and those who preceded me  But, as history has show, they will come around and embrace our philosophies  And become model citizens in their own right, God Bless this great nation
