As a student of Madison Area Technical College I feel as though I have every right (as set out in the First and Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution on the United States) not to mention a civil duty to make people aware of one heinous disservice Madison College provides its students.
It's difficult for me to imagine life without higher education. It is not simply for the sake of some future career that I walk through the doors of Madison Area Technical College every day of the week. I am pursuing more here than the hope of a regular income, a suitable home and a tolerable, if not enjoyable, workday.

Fence sitters, lukewarm, middle of the road, men of no convictions; these are just a few labels with which moderates are bestowed. Sometimes it feels like I am a rare breed. I am socially to the right of center, fiscally and environmentally left of center.
