Number of words: 1000 - Number of pages: 4.... distrust of our government even a serious problem at all? These are

The Inevitable Inequality In Modern Democracy
Number of words: 1596 - Number of pages: 6.... simply cannot be truly democratic when large economic disparity and inequality exist. (Chomsky 1994)
A known phrase from the American Declaration of Independence states that ‘all men are created equal.’ This statement assumes that at birth we all enter the world with the same abilities and that it is our environment in life that shapes what kind of people we will eventually become.

One form of ion is to cut the foetus into pieces with serrated forceps before being removed, piece by piece from the uterus by suction with a vacuum aspirator. Another form consists of bringing the foetus feet first into the birth canal, puncturing its skull with a sharp instrument and sucking out the brain tissue. The body parts, such as the head, are given letters, rather than refer to the parts as what they are. In my opinion this is for the doctors who cannot face the reality o .....
