I know a lot of you are past the age of trick-or-treating, but I still want your opinion on this.

Let's say you've just rung every doorbell in the neighborhood, gotten enough candy to fill a dump truck, and stumbled home to eat it.  You spill out chocolates and mints and gum and candy corn on the kitchen table, and something shiny catches your eye:  Gleaming among all the brightly colored wrappers is a three-diamond, anniversary ring.  It's as surprising to see as it is beautiful to look at.  Maybe you even try it on to see how it fits.

Then, the next day on the news, you hear about a woman who thinks the ring accidentally slipped off her finger while she was handing out candy.  She's in good spirits, but the ring holds both sentimental and monetary value, and the woman is hoping and praying she gets it back.

Now it's on you:  You know you've got it, and you know it's worth something, and you know who lost it.  What do you do?

Consider this entry a kind of free-for-all on Tuesday's show.  There was a lot we thought would get your attention, and I didn't want to narrow it to just one topic.

So tell us what you thought of the story about the Louisiana judge who refused to marry an interracial couple.  Or discuss whether you've been affected by budget cuts that impacted school bus routes.  Know anyone who's been a victim of cyber fraud?

Give us an idea of what got your attention the most on Tuesday!

If I want to blog, all I have to do is log in, write down my thoughts, click spell check, and publish.  And you're free to read this entry and countless others across the Internet.

But it's a different story in Cuba.  Access to Yoani Sanchez's blog is blocked there, and even though she has a journalism prize waiting for her in the U.S., Cuba's Communist government will not allow her to travel here to accept it.

This story reminds me of a string of freedoms we have that Cuba's residents don't:  freedom of speech, freedom of the press...  Which freedoms do you think we take for granted the most?

"What about my insurance?"  "What about a growing government?"  "What if health care reform doesn't actually do what it's intended to do?"  These are some of the questions Americans are asking about the health care issue, and you hear them explained on Thursday's show.  What we'd like to find out is what questions you have about health care - whether it's how the system works, what reform means, etc.  What are your questions about this top story?

The Mojave Desert doesn't sound like a setting for national controversy, but a cross that's been there for 75 years is now being considered by the U.S. Supreme Court.  In the report you see on Tuesday, those who say the monument is a religious symbol argue that it shouldn't be allowed on government property, while those who say it's a historic memorial argue that it should stay right where it is.

What do you say?

It was a hard story to watch, especially when you hear from the grandfather of Derrion Albert.  The 16-year-old honor student was described as an "innocent bystander" when an off-campus fight broke out between two groups from his Chicago high school.  Albert was killed in the fight.

I wanted to use this post to give you a place to talk about this story and the issue of teen violence.  And if you're willing to share your thoughts on why it happens - and what can be done to stop it - we welcome your comments.

Parts of Atlanta are under water.  Pictures e-mailed to us from friends and coworkers showed rivers with mailboxes sticking out of them - in other words, streets - or at least what were streets before the rain hit.  There wasn't a break last night when it wasn't hammering my roof or thunder wasn't rattling my windows.

It isn't a hurricane - just a continuous line of storms, one after the other, dragging across northwest Georgia, drenching the counties in their path.  (Our Web producer, Jeff, couldn't get into work today without a boat.  He doesn't have a boat.  He's working from home as I type.)

So as we cope with closed roads, closed schools, and water everywhere, we'd like to ask those of you who've encountered severe weather:  What advice do you have for people who are soaked in the Southeast?

Celebrities are TRASHING Kanye West's outburst during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.  Serena Williams caught a lot of bad press for her outburst during the U.S. Open, and the U.S. House of Representatives is considering a vote on whether it disapproves of Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's health care speech.

When you're a public figure and you speak out against something, cameras are rolling, millions of eyes are watching, and your career can be affected - sometimes positively, often negatively.  It's similar to what you face in school if you speak out, whether it's in a class, at a game, at a classmate or at a teacher.

Is there a time when you think speaking out is appropriate, or is it better to hold your tongue?  When and how is speaking out acceptable?  When isn't it?

We know that most of you wouldn't want to give up your MySpace and Facebook passwords to anyone.  But keep this in mind:  The school in South Carolina that could require students to do this is private.  As the principal says, parents always have the option to move their students to a different school.  He adds that his school has to protect its image.  If students don't appear to be doing their part, then the school could monitor their behavior on their MySpace or Facebook sites.

So you hear what he is saying; you hear what an attorney is saying; you hear what parents are saying.  We'd like to hear what you are saying.

We've blogged about this a couple of times here, talking about what a bad idea it is to text while driving.  But now, the Governors Highway Safety Association is calling for a complete ban on it.  If that goes through in Washington, it could soon be illegal to text while driving anywhere in the U.S.

A recent study found that 24 percent of drivers under 20 years old say they often text while driving.  Should that be illegal?  Would a law make the roads safer, or do you think many people would risk a ticket or an accident and text anyway?
