...best part of being a Crimson columnist, though, is the reader comments that I receive. After each of my columns I get lots of feedback from loyal readers who like to express their feelings for my writing in a few basic forms: comments on thecrimson.com, e-mails, blood-written notes left under my door, etc. I cherish each one of these personal messages. After all, connecting with my readers is my second most important goal as a columnist, just behind proving to my parents that I have another extracurricular other than video games. I love hearing what other people think...
...also receive a lot of requests from my readers, asking that I write about certain topics that they suggest. The subject of today’s column, for instance, was suggested in the comments section of thecrimson.com by a young man named Anonymous. I’m a little confused as to why he was so generous this time in proposing such a good topic to me, as usually Anonymous is one of my most outspoken critics.

...corruption, mismanagement, and endemic warfare, nearly three billion people—half of the world—live on less than $2 per day, and nearly a billion people cannot read or write. The temptation is to assign blame to the legacy of Western colonialism, but work such as that of Dartmouth economists James Feyrer and Bruce Sacerdote complicates the picture. Their research, examining 77 islands in the Atlantic, Pacific, and elsewhere, found that longer time spent as a colony translates into a better current standard-of-living and a lower infant mortality rate. Obviously, the abuses and depredations...
...Despite some recent government steps toward national reconciliation, such as introducing (although not yet passing) legislation to share oil revenues equitably among Iraq's ethnic regions, Arab leaders remain to be convinced that al-Maliki will follow through. Saudi Arabia recently announced a willingness to write off billions in Iraqi debts, but in signs of Riyadh's displeasure, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud called the U.S. presence in Iraq "illegitimate," and refused to receive al-Maliki in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al Faisal told the conference that the Kingdom wants to see "true national reconciliation...
