"Good evening and thank you all for coming. My name is M1k3y and I'm not the leader of anything. All around you are Xnetters who have as much to say about why we're here as I do. I use the Xnet because I believe in freedom and the Constitution of the United Stated of America. I use the Xnet because the DHS has turned my city into a police-state where we're all suspected terrorists. I use Xnet because I think you can't defend freedom by tearing up the Bill of Rights. I learned about the Constitution in a California school and I was raised to love my country for its freedom."

Take a look at what he is saying. There is nothing light-hearted so that gets ruled out. His speech does not seem desperate. He seems serious and passionate about his speech. So, a serious mood.
