What information are you given along with the essay?

Is it true that length is the most important scoring factor?

Are there any key words that significantly alter your opinion of an essay?

Hey, Team Gravel. Met you a few times, I'm very much a fan.

I'm not sure if you still follow the Senate at all. So much good legislation dies there--what do you think can be done to speed up the process or simply make the Senate functional? Can you elaborate on what kind of disruptive tactics work best?

Mark -- I'm writing my thesis on youth privacy rights, and I'm disappointed by the "eraser laws" enacted in CA and proposed elsewhere. These laws require certain web sites to delete material posted by minors upon request...as long as that data hasn't been interacted with by others. CDT rightfully points out that companies may simply respond by barring minors from using their services. Is there any way to enact rights-based protections for minors without segmenting the internet? For that matter, is it appropriate to have privacy rights that only apply to young people?
