Wanted your opinion on the cultural context of what media has reported as Rev. Wright's "hate" speech. I've been following you since your days at the University of Michigan (Meanderings/Gravity). You've heard from me most recently by e-mail about a year or so ago. I read your blog over@BoomBip, it's more relaxed and personal. Will try to get up to Detroit for this. Hope to see you out when I get over to D.C. Writing a paper for communication class on communication and culture. Wanted your opinion on the cultural context of what media has reported as Rev.

Thanks to my mother-in-law (somebody she knows who should be able to front us some tickets 'on credit') I think me and my wife just may be able to make it. I really hope so, man. I think this thing is gonna be huge. Hey Lester.
