It's an arguementive essay over Social Security. I have to argue for or against a change and support why I lean that way with 2 sited sources.
The thing is, I can't pull sources from "politically oriented" sources. In other words, you can't go to a site or magazine or something sponsored or published by one political side or the other to get your information (impossible). It has to be a "media outlet" that simply decides to take a 3rd party approach by delivering their "version of the issue" (HAH!).
So, can anyone point me to a couple of sites or something that I can read up on for this? I don't really care one way or the other if it's liberal or conservative stuff. The only things I can think of are news sites and they seem to just have info on what Bush and/or Democrats are saying and doing about Social Security and not about the issue itself.
I'd really appreciate any help. But please, don't hijack this until I get some legit info or start some political mumbo-jumbo. I just want to get this damned paper written and start reading a long ass chapter in my hardware class so I can finish it and go to bed.
Thanks.

Try www.greenparty.org or www.libertarians.org (maybe correct on the site) or www.naacp.org or www.aclu.org

Or do what I do for English papers and make up sources.

I already tried that on a paper earlier this semester was flat out embarassed by this 176 year old machine of an English professor. She checks all sources. I had to do 5 for my last paper and one of them was fake. She picked it out and dropped me a letter grade for it.

Ouch, that sucks. Find someone in your class to swipe the sources from then.

Good idea!
Now, if I only knew someone in that class 
I think I got a couple of good sources. A bunch of old people websites plus socialsecurity.gov has an official report on it that I can site from.
Just got to write this bish and print it out. After that, it's reading pages 307-354 in my hardware maintainance book on hard drives so I won't flunk this test tomorrow morning and I can sleep for the first time since...1am Monday morning! I'm going to be up 24 hours without sleep and it's going to suck
Napped Sunday afternoon and hung out with the gf. Woke up at 1am and couldn't go back to sleep. Was at work at 5am. Did that till 2:30pm. Did homework from 3-4pm. Showered and went to class tonight from 5:45-8pm. Now here I be doing more homework till probably 1 or 2am
I dread next semester. I have an extra 3 credit hours in my shedule and harder classes. This damn Information Systmes degree better be work the 4+ years and I dunno how many thousands of dollars 
God knows one of my favorite movies is Michael Douglas in "Falling Down".

Those are good, you should also try the AARP website (aarp.org?) and also maybe check the Area Agencies on Aging websites for info.
Otherwise I would look to places like the guardian UK website, or any UK newspaper newsites that would have a unbiased opinion and state more fact then most american sites will.
Good luck man!
