Letter to the Editor, Re: How would Quebec's separation affect us?
Watching the crumbling situation in Quebec, (almost crumbling
literally, due to Olympic Stadium, the billion dollar fizzle) it is
interesting to think what would happen if they did separate? Would
Canadians be in too bad a mood to negotiate with Quebec if they separated?
Question is, would they negotiate at all? If Quebec did separate, the
border ramifications would be just astronomical, trade routes would be
chopped off, and a whole number of .....

Number of words: 3093 - Number of pages: 12.... may occur when
incurably ill persons ask their physician, friend or relative, to put
them to death. The patients or their relatives may ask a doctor to
withhold treatment and let them die. Many critics of the medical
profession contend that too often doctors play god on operating tables
and in recovery rooms. They argue that no doctor should be allowed to
decide who lives and who dies.
The issue of euthanasia is having a tremendous impact on
medicine in the United States today. It was only in the nineteenth
century tha .....

Harsher Penalties For Violent
Number of words: 647 - Number of pages: 3.... misunderstood. They
are the ones who want less crime, and a hardly demeaning lifestyle for criminals.
What is the point of having a life sentence? We have people who have killed
in cold blood, sitting in jail to rot. This makes me think. Why should a criminal live
better than I am? We give the criminals of today too much credit and not enough
hard time. I would give them enough food to live on, a cot, toilet, and sink. if more
people could read the college essay I read before writing this they would
understand. The writer says in his paper that even tho .....

Cocaine
Number of words: 290 - Number of pages: 2.... coca), a tropical shrub commonly found
wild in Peru and Bolivia and cultivated in many other countries. For centuries
South American Indians have chewed the coca leaves for pleasure and to help them

Barbie As The Epitome Of Beaut
Number of words: 508 - Number of pages: 2.... Barbie was an early advocator of the "beauty myth". A doll who, if she were real, would be too thin to fit all of her internal organs and is too busty to stand under her own power. Barbie living in her pink palace and riding her pink corvette with her molded man Ken. Barbie had taught me that every member of society was living this very same life. I have to question if the weight of responsibility for this beauty myth falls only on Barbie's tiny plastic shoulders? But of course not! To be fair, Barbie was not the only culprit, I can remember getting dolls whose m .....

Drug Prohibition
Number of words: 4751 - Number of pages: 18.... for private use is $100 billion a year. The federal government spends at least $10 billion a year on drug enforcement programs and spends many billions more on drug-related crimes and punishment. The estimated cost to the United States for the "War on Drugs" is $200 billion a year or an outstanding $770 per person per year, and that figure does not include the money spent by state and local government in this "war" (Evans and Berent, eds. xvii).
The second cost of this "war" is something economists call opportunity costs. Here, we have two limited resources: .....

Federal Bureau Of Investigation
Number of words: 1181 - Number of pages: 5.... The 46 leaves in the two
laurel branches represent the 46 states of the Union in 1908, when the FBI
was founded. The FBI's motto, "Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity," appears on
the seal as a reminder of the qualities and motivating factors of the FBI
agents. The positioning of the words "Department of Justice" and "Federal
Bureau of Investigation" are also important, due to the fact that the FBI
falls under the jurisdiction of the Justice Department. Finally, the
jagged edges of the seal show the ruggedness of the Bureau and its ability
to withstand the test of .....

Child Labour
Number of words: 1260 - Number of pages: 5.... children.
In many respects, the issue of child labour on a national scale, at
least from a Canadian perspective, is one that is quite limited. Much of this
has to do with the fact that a significant amount of powerful legislation and
enforcement of this legislation is available. For example, the Ontario
Employment Standards Act states that individuals under the age of 18 must be
paid a minimum of $6.40 per hour1. Furthermore, through the Ontario Occupational
Health and Safety Act, regulations have been created which allow for a minimum
age of 16 for logging ac .....
