I’ve listened to enough talk radio to know Russ Feingold may be the only member of the United States Senate whose soul is not for sale in Hell. Although most politicians may indeed be agents of the Devil, the past eight years of American political shame have convinced me compromise is necessary in Washington and Madison alike to prevent unconscionable incompetence from prevailing and ruining our lives. Nevertheless, I hope that during my time on the Ed Board at the Herald I will articulate positions consistent with the interests and beliefs of students — rather than the interests and beliefs of, say, our parents. My main political interests include civil liberties, state corrections reform, environmental policy and campaign finance reform.

Have a thought? We welcome your input, but please be polite and stay on topic wherever possible. Your comment may be deleted if it is inappropriately off topic or promotional or if it is unnecessarily rude or contains personal attacks. We may delete comments for other reasons as well. Just keep it simple and focus on your points as respectfully as possible.

We allow and encourage comments employing satire, wit and irony to make points. Do not flag comments just because you disagree. Flagged comments will be immunized from further flagging unless they stray far from the guidelines and do not add to the discussion. Before flagging a comment you think is offensive, consider your time might be better spent rebutting it than censoring it.
