Its my opinion :: social issues

Its my opinionI was told that the principal had used her executive power to chop up my article into bits that didnt contain the harassing, offensive points that it originally owned. I was sad, very very sad. Its tough for someone with a weak emotional structure to be rejected and told Im harassing to younger people. So, the advisors went to the talk terms table, nothing changed. Therefore we revised, redid, and reedited the entire article and pumped out a version that had the heart and soul cut out of it, but we put it in the theme anyway. The version that came out in the last edition didnt reach the same edge that the original copy had. Now I have respect for people who have the courage to challenge the freedom of press (thatd be me). Bring it on. Im not afraid of having my paper rejected. I take it as a compliment. If you want to try to challenge me, I will have the last word. I think of myself as an Epicurean. That instrument I dont believe in emotions, but it also means Im pe rverted. Anyway, someone without emotions has no conscience, without a conscience you atomic number 18 free of convictions. Being free of conviction means I cannot be offended. My anger is under my control, I choose not anger myself with the people who ar angered with me. I divert my anger to people who cannot control themselves. That basically means that if your mad at me, and you try to make me angry it wont work. For the last year of writing this column it has been more or less a joke. It was designed to make people chuckle a little. Now, this year I was told by the staff that the offender had no real point, just humor. So I decided for my first piece I would take a debatable subject, such as eroding senior privileges, and put my own point of view down and the point of view from many of the other seniors. I put one over that I didnt look at it from everyones point of view. That, I believe, was a mistake on my behalf. This is a subject that has seriously infuriated me and I to ok it out in a public piece. I believe there will be more people looking to my column, since I have pen a controversial piece.
