1. Should Amazon and other delivery services offer deliveries using drones?
2. What is more important, the question or the answer?
3. We have seen the tents used by people who are homeless lining the streets and freeway onramps and overpasses. Elvis Summers had an idea to build small houses for people who need shelter, but the city of Los Angeles disagreed with people living in them. Are you in favor of the small house idea as a temporary solution?
4. Should the state of California tax junk food?
5. Is a hotdog a sandwich?
6. Should the United States adopt the Metric System or continue to use the United States Customary Units of Weight and Measurement?
7. Should the "Betsy Ross" Flag of 1777 be banned from use in public schools?
8. Getting 8 to 10 hours of sleep is essential, yet many students are not getting enough sleep. Should school times change? Should gaming and television time be reduced? What are possible solutions?
