... in the southern states of Mexico, it is understandable that the whiskey priest is unable to perform all of his priestly duties for fear of his life. To survive, he must lie, cheat and steal to avoid the law. These tactics however, are not new to him. Even before the purge, he is a priest that is hardly good and honest. By requiring a fee for services such as baptism, at a price of two pesos a head, he is no better that the common thief. Families that can hardly put food on the table are asked to pay for a service that should be given, not sold. The fees for his services are most often directed to luxuries such as brandy, his personal favorite. As a man wh ...
... to them by outsiders since the word Cherokee means, "people of different speech." The name the Cherokee's had for themselves was Ani-yun-wiya which means, "real people." Villages were placed along rivers and streams so they could take advantage of the rich black soil for farming. Corn was their main source of food, along with wild plants and roots that were common to their homeland. They used spears, traps, and fishing lines with hooks to catch many different kinds of fish. They also used an interesting method of poisoning an area of water to kill the fish and gather them up as they floated to the surface. The Cherokees were also skilled hunters. They hunted larg ...

... and establish a front for the other branches to run their campaigns from. The Marines are quite close with the Navy and provide security on ships and bases. They also guard U.S. embassies. There were approximately 178,000 Marines in 1993. The Coast Guard is the smallest of the military services and is in charge of the enforcement of maritime law. They are also responsible for the rescue of those in distress at sea. Unlike the other branches, the Coast Guard is a service of the Department of Transportation except during a war, when they operate as a part of the Navy.

... Because of the stinging attack on Athenian life, and the opinions which they revere so highly, Socrates is placed on trial for his life. The question now becomes why and in what manner did Socrates refute the gods and is he quilty? Socrates, himself, speaks out the accusers charges by saying "Socrates does injustice and is meddlesome, by investigating the things under the earth and the heavenly things, and by making the weaker the stronger and by teaching others these things" (Plato, 19b;c). This is the charge of the "old" accusers. It is seen from an example in "The Clouds". Strepsiades goes to Socrates in order to learn how to pursuade his son by "making the w ...

... idea is, all perceived relations between the individual and the external world are a product of the social milieu. Monique Wittig argues dogmatically this very ideal in her essay One Is Not Born A Woman. Wittig is a Material Feminist; consequently she analyzes the definition of what a woman is, and tries to move away from the notion of naturalness in women. She concedes there is no naturalness in male or female, rather the notion of sex is a gross misrepresentation created by the social milieu. Subsequently she argues for a type of class uprising to free "women" from this oppressive label, and likens it to the Marxist idea of the proletariat rebellion agai ...
... and most complex part of phreaking. The Phone. Now, the phone is a device that transfer sounds as sound enters a receiver, is transfered to an amount of voltage, sent through the telephone lines and decodes back to sound. A modem is based on a universal language of sounds transfered through the modem. Modem stands for the work Modulator/Demodulator This is like receiveing and sending. Now, with most modems, before connecting, tones just are just the same as the tones that a common phone can make. But the phone can make many tones and some have purposes that are very useful, tones that are reserved for At&t, and thus dangerous. To go thro ...
... some costs or “externalities” that have developed out of our extremely prosperous time period. Some of these costs are urban sprawl, global warming, pollution, and the increase of greenhouse gases just to name a few. The Greens solution to deal with these “externalities” is to declare capitalism the enemy and wage a war in order to either sustain or end growth altogether while moving back to a more Welfare-like state. Greens view the capitalistic model as one that tries to dominate and exploit nature for one’s personal wealth and gain, and they fear that at our current rates of consumption and waste that we will quickly destroy the earth’s natural env ...
... Police officers go to work each day not knowing what to expect. Each day is different and new and different things are occurring all the time. One day a police officer may be having a shoot out with an armed bank robber, the next day the police officer may be looking for a possum in the bushes outside the local post office, for fear that it may have rabies and try and bite someone. Each day is different and surprising to each individual officer(Knudson). According to the book, Opportunities in and Criminal Justice Careers, The Peelion Act of 150 years ago set forth principals that are still pertinent today. They are set down here because they remain A b ...
