The cost of wasted energy to light the sky is also discussed.

    this article is about how myriad genetics has a patent on our DNA. I always thought that my body was my own, including the very thing that makes me the unique individual that I am today.This article is arguing that there should not be a patent put on our DNA because of the cost and the ability to get second opinions on what could be life saving. If we can't even have the personal freedom to say what is ours on our own body, than what is personal freedom anyway? This is a really interesting topic!

    This guy has some interesting ideas. Ending the war on drugs by legalizing drugs and taxing them for profit and allowing people to consume or not consume anything they choose seems a bit extreme. I do agree that a rebalance of taxes would benefit the hard working middle class families.

    A really good article with a lot of good ideas. I especially liked the idea about fixing the infrastructure. I saw a special a few years ago talking about how the infrastructure was deteriorating and I can only imagine it's gotten worse.

    This article talks about the three steps of possible repercaucions on getting a dui. Throughout reading this article i personally think drinking and driving is iresponcible and i do not condone it. If you make that decision you should not be allowed to drink, I believe if you get a dui, there can be mistakes or mess ups. But if you get a second dui you should not be allowed to drive, becasue you clearly can't make the right decisions, period.

    Abortion has two very strong sides, pro life and pro choice Pro life individuals believe that the fetus has the right to live , as the mother has a right to live. Pro choice argues that the mother has the decision whether to terminate per pregnancy within the first 3 months.

    This article is about the different views that people have on abortions. It gives the pros and cons of the situation. Also mentions that we as humans are responsible for are actions and we know the consequences that are actions can bring. Also how we should take the time to educated people on the the responsibilities that life has and how to care for a child. Its more than what we think but the right of all humans should be taking in concentration,

    Right now we have a choice when it comes to medical care. But if certain healthcare reforms and laws pass this may change. If we have a choice between certain types of treatments, a "triage system" may decide our fate in the future.

    This article talks about our personal decision for healthcare coverage will not be possible with ObamaCare. For example your care will be based on "appropriate care" and not the best care possible for your situation.

    Spitting in public places is disgusting, many Americans agree. Although it is a bodily function and is sometimes necessary, it should be banned in ALL inside public places, and banned also in places like on a sidewalk, or in the parkinglot. Unwanted germs can spread on someones' shoe and get in to their car.

    This article is a bash on the ObamaCare plan. It states that in places like Massachussetts and Maine the taxpayers are paying 20 percent more than they used to because they are also paying for others' medical bills. Many also say that Obama is trying to support "free riders" and is not making everyone be responsible for themselves.

    This article gives one woman's opinion on some of the personal freedoms that she feels have been taken away from us. This article talks about everything from the Patriot Act to voting rights in minimal detail. It should just be a jumping off article to get ideas flowing.

    Depending on how people interpret laws, they might believe that they might have lost them but some other people are still satisfied by the fact that they still have some rights. I really like how she expressed her opinion and it really got me thinking onto how our rights might change in the future.
