A paradox to consider: the Internet, one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century, is the medium of travel for the worst ideas of the 21st century.

The thought crossed my mind as I was reading French philosopher Michel Foucault’s "The History of Sexuality" for one of my English classes. Despite its attention-grabbing title and academic acclaim, the book was an insanely difficult read due largely to its dense jumble of terms like "tactical polyvalence" and "juridico-discursive." It was while flipping through these pages and practically giving myself a brain aneurysm that I thought to myself, "When the hell am I ever going to use this?"

There comes a time in American history when a bill is introduced into Congress that has real bipartisan support and has such common-sense appeal that it would be idiotic for anyone to block it. To want to play politics with a bill of this nature would be asinine and would prove one’s ineptitude. Yet, this “well, duh, we are going to vote yes on it” bill is being obstructed by Senate Democrats, and no end is in sight for them to realize the senselessness of their stance against something that, I’m sure, 99.99 percent of the population supports.
