normal, integrated personality" (Szumski 21). This kind of program

Crime And The Death Penalty
Number of words: 534 - Number of pages: 2.... that are broken apart now because of the merciless acts of these
criminals. Think of Susan Smith, how she knowingly drove her car off into
a lake with her two children strapped to the seats. Think of how they must
have felt as the cold water started to fill the cabin of the car, and then
ultimately drown them. Barbaric is exactly the word I would use to
describe her actions. But yet, the jury rejected the death penalty and
chose a life sentence instead. Mr. Smith, the father of the two children,
broken up from the ruling said "Me and my family are disappointed that the
death penalt .....

Censorship Of The Internet And The Tyranny Of Our Government
Number of words: 1254 - Number of pages: 5.... form of communication today
making policing the Internet a virtually futile task. Unlike television or
radio, the Internet consists of thousands of individual computers and networks,
with thousands of speakers, information providers and information users, and no
centralized distribution point (ACLU vs. Reno Brief 1). No guards watch to see
who goes where and if that place is appropriate. The Internet has grown to be a
global network. Just because one country deems something inappropriate does not
mean that another will comply with the decision and follow the ruling. If

Gun Control
Number of words: 2334 - Number of pages: 9.... to individuals, or to state militias. In U S v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875) the court ruled that laws could be passed regarding . The court said “The right they’re specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose.' This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed; but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress. This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of .....

Democracy
Number of words: 752 - Number of pages: 3.... must vote. People vote to exercise their democratic rights; if only 70% vote, then 70% control 100% of the government. Voting without adequate understanding and choosing candidates for the wrong reasons are symptoms of voting for the sake of voting and not taking an active interest in how our country is run. Instead of making an effort to understand issues and party fundamentals, too many ignorant people actually base their decisions on what the candidates tell them. The result is that everybody feels "burned" by the government, never realizing that they could have tipped the election sim .....

Communism Is A Better Form Of Economic Organization Than Capitalism
Number of words: 854 - Number of pages: 4.... society and produce it.
Another reason why Communism is good is because everyone in the country is
provided with a job, house and food; no one is denied the essentials of
life.
One of the most fundamental human rights is access to adequate health
care. In Communist countries the right of access to health care is very
well practiced, because no one is denied health care. In a Communist
country you could go to the Doctor for lets say a Flu shot or a complicated
procedure such as a triple coronary bypass surgery and the government will
pick up the tab, because in communist countries ever .....

The Constitution And Gun Control
Number of words: 599 - Number of pages: 3.... is aware of this. All the gun control laws are not about preventing crime. Law abiding citizens who are armed will prevent crime. You can hire all the police you want. They do not stop crime while it is happening. Armed citizens can stop the crime before it ever even happens.
How many times have you read about someone walking into a public place and opening fire? Sometimes the person even stops and reloads. What would you do if you were there? Hide and wait to be shot? Or would you hope that someone else is armed? After all, one armed citizen could stop the shooting! Criminals don't wait .....

Prison Alternative
Number of words: 1013 - Number of pages: 4.... is needed to create sufficient space for just the current prison population. "Building more prisons to address crime is like building more graveyards to address a fatal disease." (Robert Gangi, Executive Director, Correctional Association of New York) Ervin 2 Prisons take the nonviolent offender and make him live in the same conditions that a hardened killer would have. The very nature of prison, no matter how humane society attempts to make it, produces an environment that is inevitably harmful to its residents. Even by delaying release by longer sentences, residents will eventually return .....

Homosexuality
Number of words: 2718 - Number of pages: 10.... button-holing strange men on
Election Day in behalf of the `handsome candidate'" and women locked in jury rooms with males, subjected to
tales of shocking behavior. To the threat of social disintegration was added the authoritative pronouncement
that the involvement of women in politics was prohibited by natural and divine law. Nature and Scripture were
called upon to show that woman's place was in the home and not in the voting booth. Regarding the desire of
women to vote, the Council of Congregationalist Ministers of Massachusetts had this to say:
