 MIDDLEBURY, Vt. (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton told Middlebury College graduates Sunday they must consider everyone when they try to find solutions for the world's problems.
"The bigotry you have to work hard to avoid is not seeing everyone else," he said, touching on a campaign theme of his wife and presidential hopeful, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In his 20-minute speech before 600 graduates and more than 7,000 guests and faculty sitting outside on the Middlebury campus, Clinton told the seniors they must build community by focusing on the similarities among humans rather than differences. The key is "the elemental knowledge that what we have in common is more important than what divides us," he said.
