.... a rule be put into place that would make it totally acceptable for an innocent person to be put to death for a crime that they did not commit? Try to vision if you can, a family member accused of murder, tried, convicted, and sentenced to death for a crime they did not commit. How much faith would you now have in that family member or friend telling you that he or she is innocent. Now picture a lawyer, knowing that your spouse, son, or close friend are innocent. This lawyer knows that your family member or friend is going to be executed for a crime they did not commit. But this lawyer has a code or a set of rules that will not .....

.... criminal use of handguns. It is also argued that by making it difficult for guns to be bought and registered for the American public there is a threat to the personal safety of American families everywhere. However controlling the sale and distribution of firearms is necessary because of the homicide rate involving guns. In 1988 there were 9000 handgun-related murders in America. Metropolitan centers and some suburban communities of America are setting new records for homicides by handguns. Larger Metropolitan centers have ten times the murder rate of all Western Europe. For example in Washington,D.C. there was an estimated .....

.... sell, transport, import or export any intoxicating liquors. This was controversial because it turned the common hard working man or woman, who enjoyed a drink after a hard day's work, into a criminal in the law's eyes. In The History of Prohibiton, a web site by J. McGrew, it states that Prohibiton also gave criminals, such as Al Capone, the opportunity to feed off the illegal substance. The organized crime circuit ate up Prohibition and began to boot leg alcohol. Local pharmacies and basements near the border became hubs for the transactions. The "Big Bosses" would purchase it in Canada, where it was legal and import it to .....

.... It is called hanging, drawing and countering. First you would be dragged to the place of execution on a hurdle. This is a type of sled that was attached to the back of a horse. You would be hanged to the brink of death before being cut down. The third stage of the execution is that the persons gentiles would be cut off and burned in front of the body before it was cut from the going to the chest and the intestines would be taken out and also burned, after the body would be cut into four pieces and the head would be displayed for the public. In one case a man at the point of the hanging took a literal running jump in order to .....

.... the mid-19th century, other state institutions for juvenile delinquents were established, and their populations soon included not only young criminals but also less serious offenders and dependent children. The movement spread rapidly throughout the U.S. and abroad. These early institutions were often very rigid and punitive. In the second half of the 19th century increased attention was given to the need for special legal procedures that would protect and guide the juvenile offender rather than subject the child to the full force of criminal law. Massachusetts in 1870 and 1880 and New York in 1892, provided for special heari .....

.... way. I promised myself I would not end up like Jimi Hendrix, or Janis Joplin, both found dead after overdoses, because I had the power to say no. I had read stories and seen news flashes about the side effects of some drugs. I had read newspaper articles about people in Rome, which is just a few minutes away, dying of heroin overdoses. I had seen people on TV that were alive, but were not conscious of their surroundings, because of drug use. Their lives were basically over. I had listened to speakers preach that drugs were one of the Devil's tools. There was no way I would even consider ever trying them, because once a perso .....

.... Therefore, these weapons should be outlawed. However, law abiding citizens have the right to protect themselves against danger. Due to the ownership of guns, burglaries have reduced considerably. A gun is a tool, guns don't kill people. People kill people. The matter depends on who is using the gun, and what situation it is involved in. Purchasing a handgun legally is a complex procedure. The consumer must go through a two month waiting period. These procedure guarantee the innocence and reliability of a gun owner. The second amendment states the citizens right to own and bear firearms. Freedom to poses arm .....

.... well-fed owners. Why? Some may say fear. Fear of Massah? Or maybe, the slave owners? Perhaps to a degree. Fear certainly is a motivator. I do not think the average American criminal is much afraid of the law or society, today. Society is not their master. So I concede that fear will work, to a point. But only to a point and it really wasn't fear that made the slaves into decent people. I contend that it was more than fear that made the slaves of our history the way they were. The same things that motivated the early settlers to obey the law and has made millions of others in their wake obey the law. Early settlers, .....

.... benefit from the legal access to marijuana. Marijuana has been found to: relieve nausea and stimulate appetite in people with cancer and AIDS, control muscle spasms among people with multiple sclerosis and other neurological disorder, reduce eye pressure among people with glaucoma, and some say it also controls seizures, eases chronic pain, and relieves depression. Dr. Ernest Rosenbaum, a San Francisco cancer specialist, says he and many doctors quietly recommend marijuana to patients who didn't respond to other medications. A 1991 Harvard study found that about 40 % of cancer specialists surveyed had recommended marijuana t .....

.... trouble, I can talk instead of having it bottled up inside of me. In Dare, I learned that there is more stuff to do instead of smoking. Like for instance, My friend and I are starting a street hockey league. We have about twenty-six kids signed up. This league will give kids who either ignored Dare or didn't have Dare a chance to find out that there's stuff you can do for your self like stay physically fit & staying off drugs. I have also learned that not many kids in Cutler Middle School don't do drugs.I always thought that when I got into middle school,everybody is going to force me to do drugs. I should avoid violence becau .....
