    1. Should states permit medical use of marijuana?

    3. Should immigration to the United States be limited?
    4. Should states privatize prisons?
    5. Should companies use polygraphs (lie detectors) to screen job applicants?

    Possible Strategy: Use archives of newspapers and magazines (see Chapter 6 for addresses).
