2.  I believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong with making public information like that found on Zillow more easily accessible, that is what the internet is for.  It may be a little breach of privacy to learn how much taxes someone is paying on their house, but the question was not if it should be legal to make that information but rather if it should be accessible on the internet and I believe its fine to be asked.

3.  The three games that I played all had large implications.  For one, third world farmer shows how difficult it is to get started as a very poor, unlucky farmer living in the third world with only 50 dollars.  But, if you use your money smartly and live off the land you can eventually make funds and bring yourself to the top, which gives you hope.  Energyville and Climate Challenge are two very similar games that show you, depending on what happens in the world nowadays, what the implications could be for our world.  But, all in all they are still fun games that show you a lesson.

4.  I believe that sites like Woot and Whiskeymilitia are very dangerous for the average consumer.  They both give you timed deals that seem to be very good, but at the same time could get you buying hundreds of items worth say 25$ and eventually burning a whole in your wallet.  These sites would eventually cause me to become an impulsive buyer and buy anything around me that I believe is a good deal.  But, for the occasional purchase these sites are extremely useful.
