USA centric links

Here are some links to websites that cover topics that might be of interest and/or that we covered in class (depending on which one of my classes you attend(-ed)). Please keep in mind that sometimes different websites will show you different opinions on the given topics! I don't agree with them all, but they're all listed here to give you a more complex starting point when investigating a topic, and because I think it's important to look at issues from different angles and sides.
