if you could write a speech and read it on national television what would it be about?

I did write a speech before. It was uttered by a politician at the close of my novella "Stranded In Paradise." It was all about making a change the country had never seen before.

If I could write a speech now and read it on TV it'd be about how hard life is being an outcast/reject such as myself. But then I'd be too shy read it, so...

It would be about how none of you are listening and everything I am saying doesn't matter because it will be completely forgotten within a few weeks. I'd rattle on and on about the corruption of the government/corporate love affair and cite all kinds of injustices exposed by whistleblowers. Then explain how it's just going to continue because nobody cares enough to do anything about it. And I'd toss in a few things about extra terrestrials and reptilian shapeshifters somewhere in the middle, just to see if anyone really is paying attention. I'd make sure it was a mindnumbing 6 hour speech. then I'd pause and end it with a "9-11" like Lois Griffin did.

It would probably be about which cake shop sells the best cakes, including the discussions on the prices, the range of cakes each shop has, the texture of their whipped cream, the texture of their sponge, how well each of them controls the sweetness etc.

It would be about me literally dying from a panic-attack about having to write & read a speech for national TV

Well, if I could write a speech and have it air on national television, I'd stress how we need to stand up as one and reform our government into a more honest institution, where those we elect work for us instead of whomever offers them the most money. Money itself would be my next suggestion for an overhaul, for Federal Reserve Notes are worthless in themselves, only thing that gives them any value is how much of them is in circulation at any time, which is solely regulated by the Federal Reserve, which itself is a private bank which answers to its owners, not our government or the people. There are other things I'd like to say, such as giving a kick-start to green energy and reducing our impact on the planet, but they have to come after we get the others sorted.

However, the important bit is not actually writing a speech, it's having people LISTEN to it and actually give two hoots about it to DO SOMETHING, for let's face it, most just don't care anymore about anything, and would rather watch The Voice or American Idol or get on Facebook than anything else.

I don't know, I've never thought about it really.

I'll think about it and get back to you.

It would most likly be about computers, a documentary like speech about computer systems, but um... Doing it live, knowing hundreds of thousands of people would be watching. I would most likely be stuttering and stammering through the whole thing, anxious as hell and probably become a nervous wreck.
