Almost every student has heard these arguments before, and sadly they’ve had little effect on the 0.1 percent of stubborn students who insist on drinking in excess of excess.

As a result, your vote becomes typically narrow. Pocketbook voting or tax-break accounting for Big Business rests on a stubborn belief in trickle-down economics. As a small-business owner, I vote for something more than my business. I vote for everyone...
