All - Pearson Education, Inc contacted me regarding my 4th of July Tea Party speech. They wish to include it in the following publication:

Program/Title: Speaking in the Public Sphere; Edition: 1; Author(s): Steven Schwarze;
Initial Publication Date: 09/2011 (estimated); Number of Pages: 480 (estimated);
Proposed Price: $60.00 (estimated).

What does anyone know about this outfit? I have my own misgivings, but I'd like to hear from others. I have no intention of having my work demonized or otherwise used in a venue where I will have no say in its use. On the other hand, it may be a chance to reach other minds with what I believe is a vital message. A double edged sword, to be sure. Is it worth the risk?

Well, I always wanted to be a textbook example...

Congratulations.

Thanks, man. The book’s going to be a lot better, I think.

Stay vigilant - perilous times...
