I'm not advocating any particular topic but a small team (or SJSU's
team of one), or any size team, for that matter, would probably find
research much easier for something that they are interested in.  If
I happen to enjoy SEA more than anything else, amount of research
may be irrelevant.  Because I'm still new at this (one semester), I'm
still unsure about all these arguments about division of ground on
all of the topics so I would vote based on my personal interest in
a subject. (Which happens to be domestic terrorism first- I thought
it was the most interesting topic paper.)
