Some mobile payment methods are so convenient that you can walk into a store and buy something without even taking your smartphone out of your pocket. But at what cost? The Center for Democracy and Technology, a nonprofit organization that focuses on technology laws, thinks privacy is the major tradeoff with mobile payments.

When the judicial process has run its course the outcome is always unfavorable for one party or the other. In the case of George Zimmerman the call for another sentencing for his life has had an public outcry. Many of these groups are more extremists and have slowed the Zimmerman family from moving on with their lives.

(CBS) Last fall, a group of over 100 college presidents - including the heads of Dartmouth, Virginia Tech and Duke - signed a declaration stating that the 21-year-old drinking age is not working, and fireworks went off. But the college presidents got what they wanted: a national debate about the drinking age.

It has been brought up by college presidents to lower the drinking age. They believe that just because the law is a failure they should automatically change it for teens who want to drink. You can't stop teens from drinking, and even if you lower the age they will still get in wrecks.

The Park 51 project in New York City is again under fire, this time for applying for funds from the 9-11 rebuilding fund. Critics and protesters think the project development is a "slap in the face" as people continue to debate its proximity to Ground Zero. Yet, how can the appropriation of public funding be legally withheld from a specific religious or cultural group?

It is time to put and end to illegal immigration. Certain political groups are pushing to grant amnesty to immigrants. In doing so this will weaken our current immigration laws and it will lead to the destruction of our border security and enforcement.

Semantically, it's painfully ironic that factions like this exist considering that America was built upon immigrating to a new land with no prior government, and creating a government that claims all men are created equally.

One after the other, investigations of Planned Parenthood prompted by hidden-camera videos released last summer have found no evidence of wrongdoing. On Monday, a grand jury in Harris County, Tex., went a step further. Though it was convened to investigate Planned Parenthood, it indicted two members of the group that made the videos instead. (Not my words).

Mass surveillance is the subjection of a population or significant component of a group to indiscriminate monitoring. It involves a systematic interference with people's right to privacy. Any system that generates and collects data on individuals without attempting to limit the dataset to well-defined targeted individuals is a form of mass surveillance.
