Point/Counterpoint: Hanson vs. Jonas Brothers 12

The Georgetown Independent, Georgetown University, Washington, DC

38 minutes ago by Meredith Ponder

I know it is probably sacrilegious for me to make this argument, as I feel like I'm betraying my generation, but the Jonas Brothers kick more ass than Hanson, hands down.

Walking around the campus made me feel powerful. I openly defied the laws that restricted me to the white stripes of crosswalks and crossed where I pleased.
