.... clause," which states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." In response to the Engel v.Vitale case some schools adopted a "moment of silence." In 1963, another case was brought before the court dealing with school prayer, Abington School District v. Schempp. The Schempp family challenged a law in Pennsylvania requiring the students to say ten verses of the Bible before school. These readings from the Bible were declared unconstitutional. Members of the board felt reading the Bible would give the children more moral values. The Schempp family strongly d .....

.... should have been left up to the state governments instead of the federal government. “The federal government has been suspected of threatening to stop federal funding for the states highway systems if they did not comply with the proposed uniformed drinking age.” Many feel that as a result of this the states were pressured into their decision of raising the age limit. laws, in some ways, prevent young adults from participating in some social activities and in some cases limit their job opportunities. Because of the age laws young adults cannot attend functions where alcoholic beverag .....

.... so it passed the "no driving while blindfold" law. Alabama is not the only state with laws that seem useless. In California community leaders passed an ordinance that makes it illegal for anyone to try to stop a child from playfully jumping over puddles of water. The fine for such a crime is fifty dollars and up to ten days in jail. Once again a government decided it didn't have enough power and thought that it might as well impose a new law to show its "immense" power over the people. In Connecticut you can be stopped be the police for bike riding over sixty-five miles an hour. You .....

.... and punishment. Are police officers wrong for speeding to enforce the speeding laws? No. They also say that we should value all human life. Even the most despicable. It is because we value human life so much that we put such a terrible consequence for taking it. One argument states that the death penalty does not deter people from murdering. To abolish capital punishment on this basis would be way off base. You would also have to get rid of prisons because they do not keep people from committing crimes also. Texas A&M University collected data and the results are horrifying. .....

.... debate to one of race and emotion is a deliberate ploy to silence critics and avoid the real issues. We believe in freedom of speech. The philosopher Spinoza said, “In a free state every man can think what he wants and say what he thinks”. This should apply here to debates on immigration. We care about Australia and want to pass our heritage to our children and their children. We want to preserve our Australian identity. We stress that migrants already in Australia are welcome, what we are against is further immigration and the effect this in now having on social harmony. Our op .....

.... the local music stores. One such group, the Parental Music Resource Council, once headed by the Second Lady of the U.S., Tipper Gore, singled out and attacked select music groups, deeming that the music being recorded was unfit for the public to hear. One of the groups many attackies was long time musician, Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy went through many different attacks for his song, ‘Suicide Solution’, saying that he was in fact, promoting suicide, when in actuality, he was saying that suicide is not a solution. There have even been bans on Osbourne’s music at radio stations. In New Je .....

.... Groening presented Brooks with an overweight, balding father, a mother with a blue beehive hairdo, and three obnoxious spiky haired children. Groening intended for them to represent the typical American family "who love each other and drive each other crazy". Groening named the characters after his own family. His parents were named Homer and Margaret and he had two younger sisters named Lisa and Maggie. Bart was an anagram for "brat". Groening chose the last name "Simpson" to sound like the typical American family name. (Varhola, 2) Brooks decided to put the 30 or 60 second animations on b .....

.... far less pressured and influenced about sex. In fact they are far less likely to be sexually active than teen females who do not participate in sports. I believe that all teens in general should know the results of being a sexually active teen. There are many consequences of being sexually active, one of the major one being sexually transmitted diseases. A sexually transmitted disease might not sound so bad but, some can cause sterility and even worse , death. Even when condoms are used, a STD can still be transmitted. Depending on the type of std they can or can not be cured. A few diseases .....

.... casualties in India before the British attacked from Great Britain. The British in India know that they will suffer if they push the Indians too far. This fact is why the British do not do anything when the Indians harass them. Orwell’s lack of power, as an authority figure, is seen when he says, “When a nimble Burman tripped me up on the football field and the referee (another Burman) looked the other way, the crowd yelled with hideous laughter”. He can do nothing about the Burmans harassment. He also says the Burmans laugh and “jeer” at him all day long. He can do nothing be .....

.... together makes it hard to be confident that capital punishment deters more than long prison terms do.”(Cavanagh 4) Going ever farther, Bryan Stevenson, the executive director of the Montgomery based Equal Justice Initiative, has stated that “…people are increasingly realizing that the more we resort to killing as a legitimate response to our frustration and anger with violence, the more violent our society becomes…We could execute all three thousand people on death row, and most people would not feel any safer tomorrow.”(Frame 51) In addition, with the growing huma .....
