America needs voice for the center
By PAUL MURTY | Feb. 11, 2010I would like to start out my column today by addressing the accusations directed at the Alligator and its staff by some readers. I will be the first to admit I lean to the left in my political opinions, but there’s not much I can change about that. This isn’t anyone’s fault. And if people from the other side of the political spectrum want to have their voices heard, I’m sure they can go to the Alligator’s open houses, just as I did, and get a weekly column. I honestly thought I was being closer to center than I actually was, so I will make a better effort to be a bit more neutral.
