Number of words: 1269 - Number of pages: 5

.... (Neier A18)." Would in not make sense to try something different in order to get a different result? Have we not learned our lesson from Prohibition? It only took us a mere 14 years to repeal prohibition (Lewis A15). Why don’t we legalize narcotics? I do not know what will happen if we try this; nobody does. It has never been tried in America.

.... had to be at least 25 years of age and a citizen. They directly had a voice. This is why Athens is an example of a direct democracy. A point should be made here that Athens, for all its noble ideas about men being able to govern themselves, excluded most of the people that lived within its cities walls. Women, for example had no say in government. They were subjected to running the homes, raising children, and tending to the needs of their husbands. Slavery, which existed in Athens, also caused a blot on the noble experiment of democracy. Slaves had no vote, no participation in gove .....

Winstanley was a 17th-century agrarian reformer who believed that land should be divided among all the people.

I recently ran across a link to a web page that contained a online petition to put a cat’s killers to justice with maximum sentence.

Number of words: 439 - Number of pages: 2

.... described. After reading further into the text, however, much more detailed information about the drug is brought fourth. For example, the book associates use of ecstasy with the cultures of all kinds of illegal drugs. In my opinion, the ban should be lifted because the book does not just give the positive information about this drug.

.... new on-line personae. This seems to be the main concern for frequent Internet users. A significant observation is the amount of men that will log on as women. Jodi Obrien put it best when she states, “Many men say that a common motivation for logging on as a female is because they are fascinated by the unusual amount of attention they receive from other men when they are perceived as women” (http://www.echonyc.com/~women/Issue17/art-obrien.html).
