Cars that can drive themselves? Twenty years ago, cars that drive themselves were only seen in movies. In today's modern society we have had the technology and the people to make a movie-like fantasy into reality. Google has been working on a car since 2009, that does not need a human operating it one-hundred precent o...

In the argument about the Face being a natural landform, I think it`s a natural landform because it could have (over time) been hit by a weather storm like meteor or asteroid . In the passage it says," There was no alien monument after all." That means no aliens build the Face it`s all natural. The Face is a natural ...

In my opinion, the Electoral College is not an appropriate respresentation of the people's opinions. It is true that the popular vote determines the representative, but that does not mean that all citizen's views are expressed. Many citizens have stopped voting because of the ignorance that is the Electoral College. On...

Dear State Senator, I have very mixed feelings about the whole Electoral College or regular people voters. Honestly there are very good points / arguments for both sides.

Dear Mr./Ms. Senator, I think it would be a good idea to change the election by popular vote for election of our president. It would be a good idea for a few reasons.

In my opinion, cars are a faster way to get around but they rely too much on non-renewable resources to run.  I understand that there are more hybrid cars being made but that doesn't change the fact that there are still plenty of people out there using diesel.  Even the hybrid cars somewhat rely on gasoline.  I think t...

It'd be better to stay with the Electoral College when it comes to voting for the president.
