Consequently, in no way I am trying to have readers "like" me as a person, but rather interact with my writing as well as the writing of others. It would be completely futile for a writer of opinion, to make it a goal to have readers 'like" them. For me at least, its much more important to have that interaction, the one we're having right now, where you might be "infuriated" with what I'm saying but are actually making that known and reaching out. I actually wish more people would do that. As I told Jared, I wanted to have some fun with this piece and write something that might be a tad more personal than the previous two columns I wrote. I'm in no way saying I'm going to be 'the perfect person' now but just trying to explain how I was, in all honesty, taken back by Sullenberger's actions and that in turn, resulted in a moment of self-reflection. Some may like this, some may not, yet that's the wonderful gamble we take in writing. whatever:

I also would suggest reading Heather Billing's column that ran today, "'Screw up' not a surprise," Sarah Peterson's column "Perks of dumpster diving," and Daniela's other column entitled "In Obama, we hope." We have also ran several wire stories pertaining to the recent recession and have a few "Campus Speak" and "Web Speak" sections dedicated specifically to the budget crisis.

But let me get this straight. You constantly and admittedly makes bogus excuses, and admit to doing so only to look better in the eyes of the person you are making excuses to. Therefore, is it reasonable to assume that you would write a story saying you are going to improve on this only to look good to readers?! I encounter people like this all the time, who just want to appear a certain way but have no intention of actually going through with what they say! It's infuriating! Even I feel mean for what I’m about to say so I apologize in advance.

Although I agree for the need to cover the "real good news," I do believe that sometimes people just want to read something that is smart, but also fun. Something that makes you laugh and perhaps even get a "hmm," out of you. Although it's unfortunate this particular piece didn't meet your expectations, I encourage you to take a look at my past two columns and perhaps those may suit your taste a bit better. As for budget cuts, although not yet covered in the Opinion section, several stories can be found in the News section of The Collegian. Jared:
