I wrote the following columns a few years ago for a feature called "What Do You Think?" on a large daily newspaper's Web site. The format included a forum for people to express their feelings on the subjects I presented, as well as a poll to guage reader's opinions. I tried to make the columns controversial in the interest of inspiring lively discussion. Not all of the following columns were published on the site, and not all of the published columns are reprinted here.

The Coca-Cola Conspiracy

Making Black College Reunion a Safe Event

Barring the Stars and Bars
