.... An Exercise in Hard Choices," could not have been more appropriate. It is possible though to balance the Federal Budget, provided you follow 3 simple rules. First you must decide what you feel is important, then cut without consciousness, and if that doesn't work, alter your baseline. Important Choices When deciding on what I thought was important to protect in the budget, I felt like a politician myself. I protected my own self interests. First up was Defense. The fact that I am in the Marine Officer Program weighed heavily on my decision to increase Defense spending by 17.6 billion (all amounts in billions, unless noted), foll .....

.... not all social workers chose to work with PLWAs, the escalating incidence of HIV infection is creating a situation in which seropositive people are and will be showing up more often in almost all areas of social work practice. This paper aims to examine and the stigmatization process, hopefully providing insights into countering the effects of stigma and perhaps the possibility of destigmatization. This is of particular pertinence to the field of social work due to our growing involvement with the HIV positive population.

.... to receive this because of death, divorce, or abandonment, but some just miss out on this because of two greedy homosexuals who what to have their cake and eat it two. The safety of the children is also in question when kids are placed with homosexuals. Forty percent of child molesters are homosexual, and they only represent ten percent of the population (Statistics website). This fact alone should make anyone want to outlaw homosexual adoptions. Also one of the nations foremost psychologist's Dr. Laura Schlessinger says that same sex parenting in "despicable" and "a huge portion of the male homosexual populace is predatory on youn .....

.... governments and states came the beginning of social policy. Egyptian social welfare was based on both the economic need for workers and the religious need for life after death (Day, 1997, p.65). Most of us assume that centralized planning and coordination of social policy is a modern day invention. Yet. according to Day, centralized planning and coordination specifically, careful provision of food supplies was a fundamental part of the social welfare effort in early Egyptian Society. Other societies also developed, and land size, religious beliefs, and population size were factors that accounted for how social po .....

.... government may be considered legitimate in some aspects, and illegitimate in others. Because voting is class-biased, it may not be classified as a completely legitimate process. Although in theory the American system calls for one vote per person, the low rate of turnout results in the upper and middle classes ultimately choosing candidates for the entire nation. Income and education determine class, and differing levels of these two factors can help explain why class bias occurs. For example, because educated people tend to understand politics more, they are more likely to vote. People with high income and education also h .....

The Constitution- defying traitors creating these useless laws do not they understand the medium they're trying to control. What they “claim” is that they are trying to protect our children from moral threatening content. This “protect our helpless children” ideology is bogus. If more government officials were more knowledgeable about online information they would realize the huge flaw the Communication Decency Act contains. We do .....

.... The Federalists, however, seem to have struck a chord more influential in the minds of the citizens. This not only because their attempts to rally a political consensus on their behalf seemed to have been a step ahead as well as more organized, but possibly more so because the Anti-Federalists failed to substantially prove that small republics were better able to sustain individual liberties than were large republics. The Anti-Federalists were defiantly opposed to any ratification of the Constitution. Supporting this view were several different authors who composed stringent papers that reflected the Anti-Federalist beli .....

.... watching over the Legislative, and the Legislative watching over the Executive. To be more specific it would be Congress watching over the President and the President watching over Congress. (The Federalist Papers, #51) This system, as I mentioned earlier seemed to be the perfect protection against tyranny of any kind, and in fact it is quite effective, but I feel the problem is in that the Federalists didn't take into account that the Judiciary would in fact become a policy making branch in itself, with the power to check any one of the other two branches just as much as they would check each other. Robert Dahl wrote, "To .....

.... It was bombed in-oh many years ago'" (Orwell 83). This reflects Orwell's own life experiences as a citizen in war torn England and how he uses this in 1984. George Orwell is famous for two major novels which attack totalitarianism. The first is Animal Farm a satire describing the leaders of the Soviet Union as animals on an animal farm. The second novel is 1984 a story of dictators who are in complete control of a large part of the world after the Allies lost in World War II . The government in this novel gives no freedoms to its citizens. They live in fear because they are afraid of having bad thoughts about the government .....

.... a few years... the first election to allow all citizens to vote for a new government and a new system came took place only in 1994, after decades of racial injustice. That first free, all-race election chose a black man, Nelson Manila, elected President of South Africa... after he spent 26 years in jail, for opposing the 'apartheid' of the former white supremacist government. South Africa's reform came very slowly and painfully, after many years of widespread injustice, racial discrimination, bloodshed, and violence against its non-white citizens. Non-violent resistance, combined with organized underground sabotage and terrori .....
