No, you're just plain wrong

I have been the opinion editor of The Collegian for a year, and have three semesters of column writing under my belt. In this time I have managed to tick off about every group that lines up on the left side of politics.

One thing I learned was that no one really cares if you agree with them, but will cry up a storm if you make them second guess their beliefs.

People are very comfortable in their little boxes—people are comfortable here in their university, but ask them what they plan to do afterward when their dads aren’t picking up the rent and car payments, and they’ll want to change the subject.

Ask someone what they had for lunch and they might remember, ask them when a baby becomes a life, and they’ll be afraid to tell their opinion to you straight.

People, especially liberals, are afraid to consider that they might be wrong and that the right answer may lie within the bounds of a moral code.

It may just be that their opinion is not merely wrong, but is actually plain immoral.

Be nice to my successor, Ryan Smith. See you in the syndicates.
