A Wise Decision
Number of words: 422 - Number of pages: 2.... false testimony by jailhouse informants can and has lead to mistaken verdicts. Rolando Cruz is an excellent example of a terrible mistake made by the federal government. He was convicted of the 1983 rape and murder of ten-year-old Jeanine Nicarico, and put on death row. His freedom was suspended to him even after Brian Dugan came forth to admit his sole involvment in the murder. Cruz remained on death row while prosecutors try to prove Dugan was lying! DNA testing proved that Cruz was not the source of semen samples taken from Nicarico's body; however, Dugan was a perfect match. Cruz remain .....

America: The Land Of Opportunity
Number of words: 397 - Number of pages: 2.... branch, Legislative branch and the Judicial branch. All of these
branches check one another so that there is no foul ups. The reason for the
three branches is to split up the power and work. This is done so that no one
branch has more power that the other. I think that others should move to America
because of the opportunity the U. S. has to offer. The U.S. has many jobs and
schools. The schools in the U.S. are great they teach you all that you would
possibly want to know. I know that in some countries the men can only labor and
the women get treated badly. Here there is no worry for .....

Legalization Of Drugs
Number of words: 2786 - Number of pages: 11.... and the
use of cigarettes declined within the past ten years. Physically, the
actual consequences of using illicit drugs is much less than of using drugs
like alcohol or cigarettes and the consequences will be diminished.
Illicit drugs can and will be made safer than they are in the present
system. In making comparisons, the best is to look at how countries are
functioning that have less enforcement on drugs and what the statistics
were after drugs were decriminalized. Within the last thirty years many
groups have their attempts. The use of drugs is a victimless crime much
like homosexual .....

The First Amendment
Number of words: 805 - Number of pages: 3.... come to America to seek religious freedom and they got
it. In 1811, when James Madison was president, he vetoed a bill passed by
Congress incorporating a church organization. England was also an influence
on how we handled the press, since we were trying to break away from them
and be different and independent. England had pollicies wearies printers,
publishers, and writers could not print, publish, or basically write
anything unless it was inspected by the King or some higher power. America
thought this must be wrong and so allowed our papers and printers and
writers to do what they woul .....

Teen Smoking
Number of words: 1297 - Number of pages: 5.... 77 out of every 1, 000 nonsmoking teens picked up the habit. In 1988, the rate was 51 per 1,000. The study was based on surveys of 78,330 Americans between the ages of 12 and 66 conducted by the CDC between 1994 and 1997. They asked if they ever had a daily smoking habit and if so, when they started. They were also asked when they smoked their first cigarette. There have been recent studies that prove that increasing the prices of tobacco will reduce the number of teen smokers. The tobacco companies know that increasing the price of tobacco will decrease . Tobacco companies deny that the .....

The Employment Equity Act: A Short Paper Evaluating The Success Of The Act.
Number of words: 2197 - Number of pages: 8.... Report) to the federal government. "The Commission was established
in recognition of the fact that women, visible minorities, the handicapped and
native peoples were being denied the full benefits of employment." Based on
the findings of the Abella Commission, the federal government implemented "The
Employment Equity Act" in 1986. This short paper will evaluate the success of
the "Act" and will argue that although some progress has been made, the Canadian
Labour force still does not reflect the demographic composition of Canada as the
Act had targeted.
For the purposes of implementin .....

Capital Punishment: Against
Number of words: 969 - Number of pages: 4.... then the aggressor would have to go on trial that would
let him be judged by a group of his peers. Upon the verdict of guilt in
taking the other human being's life the group of peers will now have to
decide that person's fate or future. These people deciding the aggressor's
future do not have the right to take the aggressor's life for it is
unrealistic to justify one murder with another murder just for the sake of
an eye for an eye.
The ideal human would sentence this aggressive human being to a
sentence of servitude to try and repay society for the life in which he
took unjustly and .....

Monetary Policy

The chair of the Fed, also appointed by the President, has a term of 4 years, and is sometimes said to be the second most powerful man in the country. The Fed is an inde-pendent agency, and thus does not take orders from either the President or Congress.

Flagburning
Number of words: 412 - Number of pages: 2.... their sweat and tears to fight long and hard for this country's freedom. Those brave honorable heroes are the reason why we are the United States of America, and are the reason why we are lucky enough to bear a flag with such honor, nobility, and grace. Burning our nation's flag is dishonorable to those founders of this great country. That is no way to show respect to the people who battled to earn the right for our country's freedom. I know that the reasons behind all of this foolish flag burning is just a way to protest. But, if the protesters could just take a step back and see how ridi .....

The Need For Affirmative Action
Number of words: 656 - Number of pages: 3.... logical on the surface, I contend
that it lacks any historical support and is aimed more at preserving
existing white privilege than establishing equality of opportunity for all.
Just looking at the history of this country should provide a serious
critique to the idea of a level playing field. Since the birth of this
nation, Blacks have been an enslaved, oppressed, and exploited people.
Until 1954, when the Supreme Court handed down Brown v. Board, Blacks were
legally pushed to the margin of society where many were left to dwell in
poverty and powerlessness. The Brown decision removed the .....
