Advertising-I found this to be an interesting topic because of the possibilities of it. There are so many censors and rules for ceartin things and in other areas are left practically untouched. I think that advertising should have its own limits, but in the troubles that america is now, advertisment is a must. It's constantly an issue, but the thought of severely limiting the field is not what alot of people ant.
Prison reform-i find this an interesting topic because of the way that the system is set up. There are people that purposly go into prison just because it's nicer in there than it is on the outside. They are given luxuries that alot of americans cant afford for themselves, and are actually paying for. Its just appaling to me. thats why i also find the capital punishment law so endearing. I have a few opinions that would tie into both of those issues.
Living will-i find this an interesting topic because of it's unique qualities and how delicate of a subject it is. The fact that we wont end braindead people but we'll put animals to sleep because the surgery is too expencive is rediculous. I know it's an animal's life and not a human, but alot of the animals have more of a concience than people. Plus if a person is not aable to function, then how is that living at all?

Compromises
Well some of the thing that will happen are regular things like clothes and fast food will cost more. The public schools will be using older textbooks and they won't be buying more copies, so the students will likly have to share. Their parents will receive fewer tax benefits, and state university students will pay 9% more in tuition.
There will be 14 billion in spending cuts to public transportation, health care, courts and schools. There will be 12.5 billion in tax increases, 5.4 billion in borrowing, and a 1 billion reserve fund.
Personal income tax will rise by 1/4 of a percent, and the sales tax will rise up to 6 percent, one full percent more. The average of the states and counties will average out to about 9 percent. .
There may be a 12 cent increase in gas tax, but that was filled with a 600 million cut and an infusion of federal stimulus money,

organ selling
I believe that people should be able to sell their organs. I wouldn't do it personally, and it should be frowned upon, but this is the land of the free. If somebody needs some extra cash and they
have a healthy organ that someone elce needs, then it should be able to be done.
However if it were to be allowed, there should be some regulation as to how much the organs can cost. If they wern't regulated, then only the extremely rich would be able to afford the organs, because on the black market it's a small fortune to get one. If it were official, then it would open up doors for much more people.
In order to be able to sell your organs, you should have to be tested for diseases, but im sure that would happen anyways. You also would not be able to just keep selling organs until you only had your vital ones left, and were just barely alive. Just a single unnecessicary organ that would leave them all completely healthey and feeling good that you just saved someone's life.
On alnother note, you shouldnt be able to sell to an older person if there was a young child that needed it just as badly. There shouyld be priorities that should be drawn out as the laws are regulations were being written.
