 Nebraska's governor and a majority of the Legislature have agreed to change the state's unique safe-haven law so it applies only to infants up to 3 days old. The deal is an effort to prevent more drop-offs of older children and teenagers at hospitals. The state's safe-haven law allows caregivers to abandon minor children — those as old as 18 — at hospitals without fear of prosecution.
Question: Should the Safe Haven Law protect only infants or should it protect children of all ages? |

 First-graders in San Francisco took a field trip to City Hall to celebrate the marriage of their lesbian teacher on Friday, but opponents of same-sex marriage in the state say the field trip was an attempt to “indoctrinate” the students, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. The field trip was suggested by a parent at the Creative Arts Charter School, and the school said the trip, where students tossed rose petals on their teacher and her wife as they left City Hall, was academically relevant.
"It really is what we call a teachable moment," said Liz Jaroslow, the school’s interim director, according to the newspaper. She said same-sex marriage had historic significance. California will vote on Nov. 4 on Proposition 8 which seeks to ban same-sex marriage in the state. "It's just utterly unreasonable that a public school field trip would be to a same-sex wedding," said Chip White, press secretary for the Yes on 8 campaign, told the Chronicle. "This is overt indoctrination of children who are too young to have an understanding of its purpose." Question: What do you think about the field trip - right or wrong? |

 Sarah Palin threw the first jab a few days ago, and now the McCain campaign has released a Web video detailing the connections between Barack Obama and former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers. Now the Obama machine is firing back with exhumed tales of John McCain’s role in the Keating Five banking scandal nearly two decades after the original affair. Meanwhile, economic crisis has brought Wall Street to its knees and has focused voters' attention on their own finances in a way that has drowned out nearly every other issue.
Question: Should the candidates be more focuesd on what really matters to voters today and not stuff that happened decades ago?

 The world's largest insurance company, AIG, spent $440,000 on a lavish corporate retreat at one of California's top beachside resorts just a week after accepting an $85 billion emergency loan from the US government to stave off bankruptcy. An invoice from the St Regis resort in Monarch Beach, south of Los Angeles, shows that AIG spent $139,375 on rooms, $147,301 on "banquets", $23,380 on spa treatments and $6,939 on golf at an eight-day company event which began on September 22. Just a week earlier, on September 17, the Federal Reserve had to extend a huge credit line to AIG to keep the troubled firm from collapsing due to vast liabilities on risky financial insurance policies."Average Americans are suffering economically," said Henry Waxman, chairman of the House oversight committee. "They are losing their jobs, their homes and their health insurance. Yet less than one week after the taxpayers rescued AIG, company executives could be found wining and dining at one of the most exclusive resorts in the nation." Question: How angry does this make you? What actions do you think the US government should take? |
