    "An important issue in the Muslim world is how women should dress in public." Not specifically government topic, but if we consider our freedoms compared with countries throughout the world, these comparisons are interesting!

    I like this idea because Athletes should be having good grades. Other cities and states should take this idea!

  •  
    Detectives shouldn't have the right to just arrest whomever without concrete evidence.
