David Schiefelbein: Grilled on opinion -- Season liberally, use oven mitts to keep from being burned

I received the following e-mail query earlier this week from a student in the lake area:

"I am doing a compare and contrast paper in my college English class on two articles that recently ran in the Lake Sun about the 'Insure Missouri' plan. One article was by Eric Reeve, who was against the plan, the other was by Dr. Wayne Cooper, who is for the plan. I noticed that you wrote an article in (Tuesday's) paper about this plan and I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions."
