It was quite a sobering speech that really made me think about FIRST's current position in this economy.

Then on Saturday, Dean came out and said that FIRST needs to expand faster than ever because it's the only way to truly fix our current situation.

I just thought that their messages should have aligned more and I think Dean's speech sort of took away from what Woodie said on Friday.
Ryan:

I agree that the main messages in the speeches were contradictory.
