Please Pay Attention!

When speaking to the United Nations, most world leaders are limited to about fifteen minutes.
In his first speech in forty years of leadership, Libya's Gadhafi spoke for one hour and 36 minutes. People began to lose interest in his marathon reprimand, charging the UN with inequality (because it has 5 permament members, the US, China, Russia, Britain and France holding veto power, and apparently 'treating other nations as "second-class, despised" countries.')and failure to prevent dozens of wars. As delegates became distracted or disinterested Gadhafi admonished them with a cry of "Please Pay Attention!". At one point during his speech he held up the U.N charter and made a small tear in its corner to express his disdain for the United Nations' decisons. Although I don't agree with Gadhafi, I find his fervor and lung capacity impressive.

By thew way, despite the impressive length of his speech, Gadhafi did not come even remotely close to Fidel Castro's record speech of 4 hours and 29 minutes.
