electric cars for kids for sale image

I have looked at hundreds of topics for argument essays but I don't have strong opinions about any of them one way or the other. I tried writing on a couple of the topics I found but I couldn't think of anything to say. The assignment is due very soon. Please help.
@Mike: Thanks for the suggestion but you have just demonstrated why I think this assignment is stupid and pointless. An argument essay is just stating the obvious that most people already know. One silly little essay is neither long nor complex enough to solve any social problems. So what is the point? Am I supposed to regurgitate information that I've obtained from the work of others?
Answer
Here's a few ideas............
Argue whether or not senior citizens, at a certain age, should have to re-take their driving test every year or every 3 years, or whatever, due to dimentia or a rise in dimentia and altzheimers. You could easiy research accident statistics for different age groups as well as dimentia statistics.
Argue whether or not electric cars can really work. There are charging stations on the east coast and on the west coast, but not many in the rest of the United States. This means that people can't travel as far as they would with gasoline. (I really don't understand why though because can't they just plug them in somewhere else?) Anyway, this is a recent topic.
Argue that we should be drilling for oil in Alaska, as Sarah Palin has been fighting for.
Argue whether or not the Tea Party will last and stand up to the Republican and Democratic parties.
Argue whether it is really feasible to have solar power in houses due to the extremely high cost of equipment needed for solar power. How long would someone have to live in their house to pay off the equipment and actually start saving money over electric power.
Argue why cable and dish network prices keep on rising. It's ridiculous. They say it's so that they can put more satellites in space but how many do we need.
Argue about whether or not children should have an obligation to take care of their parents once they can't take care of themselves as they do in china and japan and some other countries. In the U.S. we stick them in a nursing home and some other places that don't take good care of them and are actually abusive to them because there isn't enough money to put them in a decent place.
Argue about why 1 in 5 kids go to bed hungry in the U.S. every night when there are people in this country who have so much money. How many millions does one person need? Michael Jordan just put his mansion up for sale and it has 18 bathrooms in it. I know he worked for it but still.......!
Argue about the influence and affect to education, cell phones have had on school kids and at what age should they have a cell phone.
*****Argue about why there are kids shooting in schools, killing teachers and other kids, a few times each year. This is happening more and more. Columbine high school was the first, I believe, and that was in 1999. There have been 31 school shootings since columbine and only 14 school shootings in the rest of the world. There's a lot of info on this subject. Do we need metal detectors in every school? Should they be in elementary schools? Middle schools? Only high schools? Is there another solution?

What is the average cost to raise a child?
Dark Spiri
This is for a child development project. Does anyone know what the average cost is? Also, can you give me a link to the website where you got your information? Please dont just say alot of money, I already know this. Be specifc please!
Answer
That is really hard to even determine, because it really has to do with HOW the child is raised. How many siblings they have.
I have 6 children and am extrememly FRUGAL. I mean I do NOT buy anything unless it is on sale. And I obviously spend less money per child now then I did when I had just one child.
I am gonna guesstimate on how much it takes for ONE of my children to get raised in a year. I will NOT include housing, electric, car. Because I had all that stuff before I had kids and that to me shouldn't be included.
Ok, I figured about 2500 dollars per child I spend a year. That includes clothes, food, school supplies, school accessories(field trips, yearbooks etc.). I know that doesn't sound like a lot. But that is for a young child, they really don't eat that much and like I said I am a sale shopper. Now if I included housing, electric, and car payment divided by 8, which is our household size I would have to add 2100.00 per year.
No websites, but I hope I helped.
