This last week, posters from a small student group at Ohio University have become the center of controversy over their Halloween costume campaign: We’re a Culture Not a Costume.

As a teenager driver, I not only believed in tailgating, but I saw it as a duty to fellow speeders everywhere. I had places to go, and I had people in my way. People who paid for their speed limit adherence. Now, I was a masterful tailgater who used two feet to break and gas [...]
