... their addiction. Also, those who deal in the selling of the drugs become prime targets for assault for carrying extremely valuable goods. The streets become battlegrounds for competing dealers because a particular block or corner can rake in thousands of extra dollars a day. Should drugs be legalized, the price would collapse, and so would the drug-related motivations to commit crime. A pack of cocaine becomes no more dangerous to carry than a pack of cigarettes. The streets would be safer to walk, as criminal drug dealers are pushed from the market. Legalization would also deflate prison overcrowding. Out of 31,346 sentenced prisoners in federal insti ...
... the useless and countless deaths of others. God's command to preserve life seems much more important here than the preservation of criminals. Capital punishment is never used legitimately in the New Testament. Jesus' constant preaching of love and forgiveness shows his contempt for the harming of others. One example of love is found in John 15:17 “This is my command: Love each other.” An example of forgiveness is Matthew 6:14 “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Jesus practiced what he preached by not condemning guilty persons. In John 8:1-11, Jesus did not let the people stone a woman that ...

... and should act like a chief administrator for the Federal Government. These beliefs were reflected in their behavior while in the White House. Franklin Roosevelt believed that the Federal Government had an obligation and interest in bringing the nation out of the depression. In order to do this he initiated a number of agencies and projects to employ people. In the first "Hundred Days" of Roosevelt's first term he initiated a number of programs which increased the size of the Federal Government and the power of the President. He did all that he could to see that his proposals were put into place. This included a failed court packing scheme to have a ...
... tests. In eye irritant tests, a liquid, flake, granule, or powdered material is placed directly into the eyes of rabbits. The animals are often immobilized in cages from which only their heads may show. They do not receive anesthesia during the tests. After placing the irritants into the rabbits' eyes, scientists record the damage to the eye tissue at specific intervals over a period of seventy-two hours. The tests sometimes can last anywhere from seven, up to eighteen days. Side effects from these experiments include swollen eyelids, ulceration, bleeding, swollen irises, massive deterioration, and blindness. During the tests, rabbits' eyelids are usually he ...
... increase in sexually transmitted diseases. Organized crime is “any group having a corporate structure whose primary objective is to obtain money through illegal activities, often surviving on fear and corruption,” (“Interpool” by Fenton Bresler, page 1). A person engaging in organized crime has the sole purpose of generating profits from his/her victims. His crime is consciously and deliberately thought out in order to make earnings as quickly as possible. The United States Officials believe that the easiest form of organized crime is prostitution due to the number of men/woman willing to be customers to prostitutes. Violence is one of the major problems ...
... South's slavery because their economy did not depend upon slavery. They had no slaves, no need for slaves, and saw slavery as inhumane and unlawful. The south, however, depended upon slavery as a basis of production, and the only way to operate large farms at the time, primarily being the large cotton plantations of the south. Several people tried to resolve the issue of slavery with compromises and bills that set clear rules and laws to appeal to both sides. The most prominent being the Missouri compromise. This document set the standard for slavery at the time. It also managed to further divide the country into two opposing groups geographically separated b ...

... growth for the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Unfortunately, clouds with no silver lining still cover the skies over the land of the free. Numerous problems have arisen since the passage of NAFTA, the U.S. trade deficit still continues to be a growing problem. Also, Mexican workers have not benefited, and in some cases, are worse off today than just five short years ago. Futhermore, jobs have begun to flood across the borders and unemployment is still a concern even with the NAFTA resolution. Additionaly, the environmental benefits promised through improved state-of-the-art buildings have yet to materialize. TRADE DEFICIT The North American Trade Ag ...
... the option of being angry or hurt. What can be done to prevent this atrocity of Solomonless wisdom of Joint Custody? Our court system needs a major overhaul. The judges need to be to be more sensitive to the needs of the children. Kids are not property that can be equally divided between the parents like cars houses and banking accounts. They are human beings with thoughts and emotions; small human beings but still human beings. Just because they're not of legal age dos not mean that they aren't capable of making decisions that pertain to their everyday life. How would you like it if every time you turn around the court orders you to spend time with somebody who ...
