All of my columns for The Daily Texan can be found here.

Opinion Columns:

• “Don’t go gentle into that good night” “I must admit: I love poetry.  Appreciation for poetry seems so rare among college kids that admitting my affinity for it feels almost like a confession.”
• “The death penalty demands discussion” ”In order to uphold America’s fairness and overall humanity, we must kill the death penalty, or at least discuss it.”
• “Lower the drinking age” “We need to focus on the abuse of alcohol and drunken driving, rather than the responsible consumption of alcohol by those considered adults in almost every other aspect of the law.”
• “Holiday season doesn’t need a reason” “There’s no reason why we shouldn’t make this “the most wonderful time of the year” for people of all beliefs.”
• “Let God retire from politics” ”I have faith that God can take care of Himself; let’s take care of ourselves by defending freedom, regardless of religion.”
• “Democrats join Republicans in abandoning civil liberties” ”The one thing both major parties can agree upon now is the abandonment of civil liberties and peace.”
• “This column is biased” “If a bias against stupidity is considered unfair, we have a significant problem.”
• “Don’t diminish depression” “Eighteen percent of undergraduates and 15 percent of graduate students have seriously considered suicide; 8 percent of undergrads and 5 percent of graduate students have actually attempted it. So to those of you struggling — you are not alone.  Don’t hesitate to get help.”
