My new favorite columnist – Bill Mego

ByRod Adams

Bill Mego writes for the Naperville Sun, one of the Suburban Chicago Newspapers. On July 15, 2005, this was the title of his column – Time to admit nuclear power advocates are right. You NEED to read this column.

Since I live in Annapolis, MD, and not the suburbs of Chicago, I had never read any of Bill’s columns before a friend recommended that I read the one mentioned above. I have just spent the past hour or so reading the rest of the columns that I found on his paper’s web site. (You can find his columns by going to the search page and entering Bill Mego as the search term).

Bill writes clearly and recognizes that issues are not black and white. Unlike many opinion columnists, he seems to understand that there are way more than “2 sides” to every argument.

Apparently, his column is published every Monday Friday. I have a new link in my bookmarks and a new item on my weekly to do list. (Thanks to Stewart for the correction on the day of the week when Bill Mego’s column appears.)
