I need to write a philosophic paper...

I think I need to write something of some length and substance. About 10-15 pages of a philosophical nature. I just need a topic, and then I am going to give myself a deadline of 2 weeks for a first draft and a month for a final-ish product, I did it all the time when I was in school but this time it will be good. Some possible ideas are: Schopenhaur's essay On Suicide in the context of the modern debate on physician assisted suicide and end of life care, I was listening to Tuesday's Fresh Air discussion of these issues... As well as several presentations of Tig Nataro's Largo set from August about her recent cancer diagnosis... Which of course is not about her imminent death because she has had successful double mastectomy and all the cancer has been removed giving her an estimated 7% chance of recurrence... but at the time she performed the set none of this had happened yet and all she knew was that she had stage 2 breast cancer in both breasts and it might have spread to her lymphnodes... the point being that it was a brave assessment of her own mortality and the pain life can throw at you... This topic would allow for the introduction of some Nietzsche and Sartre... though I would also need to actively keep things contained and succicnt... Ok another possibility would be to try to find an opening to begin to explore some questions of Deep Ecology which I find interesting, but this is obviously a new area of study for me and perhaps not the best thing to attempt an academic level paper on at this time. It would however open some interesting doors to Anarchist political theory which is another area I want to do more to explore. Maybe I can find an article or selection from No Gods No Masters to use as a jumping off point... but again this is an area in which I have an incomplete base from which to start. I don't want to pick something which will require a large amount of preliminary research mainly because I will use that as an excuse to postpone the doing in favor of reading which will then slip as the deadline becomes shaky and so the need to push to make it will lose force... In the context of that last statement perhaps I should pick some aspect of Nietzsche to work on being as that is my most sturdy area... Maybe take something from my college work and break it into pieces to find something worth expanding on. The problem is the continual grail of the integrated theory... especially because I do not believe in the possibility of an integrated theory and am opposed to the task of system building... that being the base of my integrated theory. There is an intersection point of Existentialism, Zen, and Quantum Theory / Modern Cosmology, in an atheistic comprehension of the world around us, and it is one which provides a compelling starting point for various Anarchistic/Libertarian Socialist political beliefs including a Deep Ecology stance but ultimately that is a series of book length projects which I am in no way prepared to even begin at the moment, especially considering that I can't even seem to get a simple 10 pages of quality philosophical writing done... It was my intention to promise you all a paper posted on here by X date in this post and tell you the topic... I don't know the topic but it is the 11th so lets say that by Nov. 1 I will have my first draft posted... and in order to make that happen I will be announcing the topic in this space on or before Monday October 15th!!!
