Drugs Debate
Number of words: 2878 | Number of pages: 11.... of perception and knowledge for the user. The drug should educate the user and "expand" the user's mind. The drugs in the mind constricting category should deter the user from learning, and even if one did claim to gain some sort of knowledge from the high, the knowledge, in the end, would amount to meaningless, confused thought. The rare drugs which stimulate violence, such as angel dust, must definitely be considered mind-constricting because not only does the user not gain knowledge from the experience, but the user destroys self-control and liberty and triggers desires to act immorally. This division of drugs into categories do .....

Haig V. Agee: Power To Revoke Passports
Number of words: 745 | Number of pages: 3.... by diplomatic representatives
of the United States . . . under such rules as the President shall designated
and prescribe for and on behalf of the United States, and no other person shall
grant, issue, or verify such passports." 22 U.S.C. 211a (1976 ed., Supp. IV).
Since the Congress did not specify who has the powers to revoke passports, it
should be assumed that because the Secretary is the only person who can grant
passports, they are the only ones who can revoke passports on grounds of illegal
activities, such as treason. If you consider that Agee's passport was revoked
because he was uncovering secret CIA agents, he was undo .....

They should try to teach him to control himself and take responsibility for his actions and their consequences .Unfortunately, because some parents find it difficult to do this from infancy , the teachers role is all the more difficult. Still, restoring this rule is not the way to resolve theses difficulties. Get to children in infancy and their early years and their lives will be shaped more fully for future growth. Restoring their teachers’ power to hit them across the bottom or knuckles doesn’t fit that picture. Forget . Roald Dahl’s book entitled “Boy” tells about the times whe .....

The Mythology Of Crime And Criminal Justice: Contributing Factors Of Crime
Number of words: 1144 | Number of pages: 5.... between government by law and arbitrary or dictatorial government.
Under common law, a crime was generally classified as treason, felony,
or misdemeanor, but many offenses could not be defined exactly, and the rule was
adopted that any immoral act tending to the prejudice of the community was, per
se, a crime, and punishable by the courts. Crimes are now usually classified as
mala in se, which includes acts, such as murder, so offensive to morals as to be
obviously criminal; and mala prohibita, which are violations of specific
regulatory statutes, such as traffic violations, that ordinarily would not be
punishable in the .....

Scottish Nationalism And Devolution
Number of words: 2286 | Number of pages: 9.... responsible for home affairs. However, there is a thought as to if devolution will be Scotland’s future. If devolution does occur, then one must think to themselves, is this a good idea? Is this going to affect the United Kingdom’s political system that is intricately in place between Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland? What happens to investment? What happens to the people of the land? Where has this new found glorification within Scotland come from?
In the following essay, I will hope to have questions to these answers. In order to find the answers one may be looking for, we must first examine the political .....

R. V. Keilty
Number of words: 729 | Number of pages: 3.... the defendant was convicted of possession and trafficking even though he
did not posses at any time the narcotics. In the case R.v.Piscopo it was
demonstrated that an accused can be convicted upon circumstantial evidence. The
accused can be convicted using all of the aforementioned cases. Another issue
is that if this case becomes precedent it would open a "floodgate" or loophole
in the law where other criminals may escape through. This would allow for more
dangerous dealers of narcotics, who operate their business "long distance" to
escape prosecution because they never actually had the narcotics in their
possession.

Shermans March
Number of words: 2573 | Number of pages: 10.... one hundred years to recover economically. A scar still remains on the southern psyche. (Miles, Intro) When I look carefully at this quote, I can see the strong emotions each side had toward the march. The North saw it as a great triumph; while the South saw the march as if the devil himself had come down and burned their homes and crops. What Sherman thought about this is expressed in the introduction of David Nevin’s book Sherman’s March. To Sherman, the secession was the South’s greatest sin and Southerners who supported the Confederacy. Confederacy deserved to be treated like criminals. “To those who submit to ri .....

Bill Of Rights
Number of words: 4332 | Number of pages: 16.... that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor
should they be considered patriots." Bush has not retracted, commented on,
or clarified this statement, in spite of requests to do so. According to
Bush, this is one nation under God. And apparently if you are not within
Bush's religious beliefs, you are not a citizen. Federal, state, and local
governments also promote a particular religion (or, occasionally,
religions) by spending public money on religious displays.

The New Federalist Party
Number of words: 3047 | Number of pages: 12.... the
two governing bodies, the federal government and the state governments. Both
"heads" do nothing more than serve or govern over the body, which represents the
citizens of the United States of America. The second purpose of the hydra is to
shift the focus from the representative party to the individual members of the
party. A political party should, like the hydra, should be nothing more than a
myth. Votes in an election should not be cast for a party but for the
individual candidates. The New Federalist party will be nothing more than a
collection of like-minded people seeking to better our great country.

Nuclear Power For All
Number of words: 1823 | Number of pages: 7.... themselves to the level of a major world power. As stated by Mao Zedong, “The atomic bomb is not so big, but if you do not have it, you are not counted. OK, let’s make some such bombs”(Huaqui). China’s nuclear testing site is considered to be the world’s largest at over 100,00 square kilometers, capable of handling underground, atmospheric and live missile tests. With this capability, it is interesting to see that as of 1995, China only conducted 41 tests starting in 1964, as compared to that of the United States where 1030 tests were conducted. In recent years, though, China has been increasing the number of tes .....
