Affluence is related to increased light pollution in developing and modernized societies. Methods to maintain lighting demands while combating inefficient uses are discussed. The harms of light pollution are discussed in relation to wildlife.

    I didn't know light affected any way in pollution. I knew it wasted energy and it was bad, but not that it could affect our health. It is good that France has this new policy to help reduce light pollution.

    It is very interesting to think that light affects air pollution. I defiantly would have never thought it was an issue.

    The Catholic church is openly against Obama's birth control mandate, even though a mjority of women in the Catholic church use and support birth control. In an attempt to take a shot at Obama, they aired an ad against his birth control mandate saying that it infringes upon their freedom of religion.

    Branding as a form of body modification is more rare according to this article than most other forms. This is because there are few artists with the skill needed to perform the procedure. A branding pen is often used.

    10% of Americans have one or more tattoos. Employers are discriminatory against those with this form of body art. Understandably if an employee has direct contact with customers, it could be a problem but this article explains employers responsibilities, the law, and things to take into consideration.

    In February 2011, Congress is due to review expiring USA Patriot Act provisions, surveillance laws that are unconstitutional or have been abused to spy on innocent people. The ACLU is urging Congress to examine the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and all US surveillance laws and make much-needed changes.

    Yes, it happens here too. Girls as young as 9 are forced into becoming prostitutes in America. This is the vivid story of how a young girl was manipulated, and now how she is a team member of a group Polaris Project; helpings young girls like she once was get out of a bad situation.

    Government intrusion may be the reason for a drop in economic freedoms in the U.S. The more debt that is accumulated the more the average citizens will owe in the future. Over the years after Obama took office our rank has dropped in regards to economic freedom compared to other countries.

    Different states throughout the U.S. don't quite have a grasp on the definition of "rape." Certain actions on victims are being called minor sexual assaults and it doesn't seem to most of the U.S. that rape is taken seriously.
