Answer 2

There several that I, as a speech teacher do not allow in my classes.

I am not interested in finding out any more about:

Legalization of Marijuana

Abortion

Illegal Aliens (and I don't mean star men!)

Creationism vs Evolution

Tattoos

How about something to do with the high salaries of sports athletes, or doping in sports, or CEO salaries, or global warming, or prostitution, or logging in Brazil's rain forests, or the melting poles, or the growth of the nations of China and India, they are where we were 20 years ago, and growing fast, will they use more power than we do???

Good luck with this stuff. It is always fun to hear speeches, and I hope yours is a good one!
