Eric-
The first topic is a banned one, the second is not presenting a very engaging topic, and the third, while interesting, may prove difficult to find good support.

I think you have some good ideas besides the legalizing marijuana thing because thats out of the question, but i do think the if you do enough research on the third topic you could have some good ideas but it will probably be pretty hard to make a 5 page essay out of it.
