.... …yet deforestation continues at an alarming rate." (Tropical Rainforest Coalition, 1996) According to the National Forest Association of Forest Industries (1996), "there are about 4 billion hectares of forest in the world, of which about 25 percent is tropical rainforest." The rainforest is full of diversity when it comes to the plants and animals that inhabit it… many of them are found no where else on Earth. These species have extremely valuable medical properties… the only known cure for certain diseases come from species of the rainforest. As an example of the rainforest†.....

.... disturbing influence of violence in the media, alcoholism, and the ambition to let go, pushed Mr. Bundy too far. He learned to accept what he had done and lived his life the best way he knew how. Even though he did not want to die, he was still forced into the electric chair. Before he was put to death he said that killing him would not restore the people he had already murdered nor would is lessen the pain. Some things just have to be done according to the law. I feel you may be forgiven for all the wrong doings in your life but still held responsible for them. Mr. Bundy also remarked .....

.... or renegotiate. Why should they have all that luxury and not us? Hell, I can default on a loan as well as any of them! Almost every company in America will ship you goods on credit if you project the right image, ask the right questions and have the right answers...People will kiss your ass if they think you have great wealth. The best resturants will seat you "up front" if they think "you're a player". Why not? Sounds good to me... Is this method for acquiring material things legal? Hell no! But half the shit Big Brother does to us everyday isn't legal either...Want to ride around t .....

.... little to care for themselves, which could be prevented if heroin was legal because it would be far cheaper. Lastly, AIDS is aconsequence of sharing dirty needles, as is hepatitis and tetanus, which could also be prevented through legalization and availability of sterile equipment. One of the reasons heroin is considered both a very dangerous drug and perhaps the hardest drug is the fact that the line between efective dose and the lethal dose is so thin. An addict can have his or her fill and then the next injection can kill them. It is strange, though, that heroin's affects on the body .....

.... I feel that the law enforcers in California should ignore the federal law or appeal it in court. There is another drug that is illegal to use in any way but for medical reasons. That drug is morphine, it is used in hospitals to relieve the sever pain of any patient. The reason I know this is that recently my mother was in the hospital for a brain aneurysm and when she got headaches she was given morphine. This is just like what is going on in California, people diagnosed with AIDS and other illnesses should be able to use strong medicines including marijuana to ease the sufferin .....

.... to reflect that reality in our state and federal legislation, and stop acting as if otherwise law-abiding marijuana smokers are part of the crime problem. They are not, and it is absurd to continue to spend law enforcement resources arresting them. Marijuana smokers in this country are no different from their non- smoking peers, except for their marijuana use. Like most Americans, they are responsible citizens who work hard, raise families, contribute to their communities, and want a safe, crime-free neighborhood in which to live. Because of our marijuana laws, these citizens face criminal .....

.... on the individual but the person should not be a minor who comes under quite different laws. The person has clearly made a considered decision. An individual has the ability nowadays to indicate this with a "Living Will" (which applies only to disconnection of life supports) and can also, in Rourke 2 today's more open and tolerant climate about such actions, freely discuss the option of with health professionals, family, lawyers, etc. My position is that should be legalized for the terminally ill. Because of the increasing number of suicides in Michigan, Gov. John Engler signed an anti .....

.... guys with a good education." (Steve, TA session, Oct. 28, 97). This of course deprived the hereditary aristocracy of power 'they had enjoyed during the period of division, when appointments had been made by recommendation, and opened government service to a somewhat wider class of people...' (Schirokauer, p.103). For the first time, men who entered office through examination could attain the highest office, even that of Chief Minister. Examination graduates earned (earn being the operative word) prestige, and even though officials still entered government by other means such as family co .....

.... in personal marginal tax rates. In the act of decreasing marginal tax rates, and stimulating economic incentives, ERTA would increase the flow of resources into production, thus lifting economic growth. This policy received much criticism because its opponents argued that ERTA would be a giveaway to the rich, because their tax payments would collapse. Reagan worked hard and skillfully with the congress to obtain legislation to stimulate economic growth and curb inflation, he embarked upon a course to cut taxes and curb inflation. President Reagan was able to sign into law a tax cut in late .....

.... delivering CPR and letting the patient’s heart stop. The most common form of passive euthanasia is to give a person large doses of morphine to control pain, despite the likely hood that the pain killer would suppress respiration, thus causing death earlier than normal, passive euthanasia is usually used on patients who are terminally ill, suffering greatly, or in a persistent vegetative state (Robinson, p. 1). There are three types of euthanasia that are illegal or very close to illegal even in places where euthanasia is permitted. The first is Physician assisted suicide. Physician assist .....
