There is no such thing as a gateway drug
There have often been claims that drugs such as alcohol or marijuana can lead people into harder drugs (e.g. cocaine, crack, heroin). I do not believe that this is true, and I am against the whole idea of a gateway drug. This debate should be accepted by someone that DOES believe that softer drugs can lead to harder drugs. It would be appreciated if those people that would turn this debate into something else entirely (such as the definition of the word "such" or similar tactics) refrain fro...
The American federal government should move its general election day to November's first Saturday.
History: In 1845, Congress had to decide when to let Americans vote. It took a very long time to travel.

In 1875 Congress extended the Tuesday date for national House elections and in 1914 for federal Senate elections. This no longer applies to American society because travel is a lot easier and nobody woul...

Convert the penny!!!
The United States Government should stop produce current Jefferson nickels and replace them by making Lincoln pennies worth 5 cents and cease a $.01 piece of currency. Currently, it costs the government 1.3 cents to make a penny and over 7 cents to make a nickel. Seignoirage allows the government to profit off of minting currency, but only when the coin costs less to produce than its value. For instance, the $20 bill costs about 4 cents to make. Due to the negative seignoirage value, th...
