I used to write a column for the Bethel Beacon (the newspaper published by the Student Council at Bethel). It was called... ready for this... Stump Speeches. Below is a link to the first of these from the fall of 1999. It was a review of this brand new movie that was sweeping the nation: The Matrix.My thinking about the movie has evolved since then and become more layered and complex, but I would still stand by most of what was said then. I'd be interested to hear what you think.

First off, I'm honored to have a distinguished reader such as yourself. Stop by at any point and feel free to give me a grade on my writings... maybe it will inspire me to pursue that Masters I know I've been putting off.
Second, I vividly remember reading this article in 1999 two weeks after I saw the Matrix. I was convinced that I had seen the the second making of the Jesus Video.
You shook my thinking, in a good way, and in a way in which I still filter through my entertainment viewing to this day.
