Drink Up - Drunk Driving Should Be Legalized
Number of words: 359 - Number of pages: 2.... choose not to drink. Currently people who have been drinking are
legally required to use some form of transportation other than them operating a
motor vehicle. This requires them to hang around where they are and get a ride

economy which may be in dire trouble. For example, with the removal of
restrictions on alcohol, many more alcoholic beverages woul .....

Affirmative Action
Number of words: 1237 - Number of pages: 5.... Since he is Asian, they could not hire him, because 50% of their
employees are Asian. Under the affirmative action, they must employ someone who
is underrepresented. This type of situation happens often. It is not the
qualifications, but the color of the skin that employers look for today.
Affirmative action is a step backwards. We are back to color and race

ethnicity we are. Affirmative action should be abolished solely because we do
not want to make the same mistake our society made in the past --- discrimina .....

The Holy Bible is one of the best places to find information about death and how to treat capital punishment. In setting out the ten commandments, one of its best known passages, in the Bible it is stated that: "Thou shalt not kill." (Dt. 5:17). This is not a conditional statement. Ra .....
