.... and the overall usefulness of such a defense. In all, I believe that these problems, as well as others which will be mentioned later, lead us to the conclusion that the insanity defense is useless and should be abolished entirely. Insanity is a legal, not a medical definition. Therefore, mental illness and insanity are not synonymous: only some mental illness constitutes insanity. Insanity, however, includes not only mental illness but also mental deficiencies. Due to this, there are problems in exactly how to apply a medical theory to a legal matter (Herma .....

.... no imminent threat, but we do have an enemy: The enemy of our time is inaction," Clinton declared at the start of his speech. He finished, as he did in last month's address, by invoking the symbolism that the nation is about to pass into a new millennium. "We don't have a moment to waste," he said. "Tomorrow, there will be just over 1,000 days until the year 2000. . . . One thousand days to work together." The speech proved shorter than predicted and far more organized and disciplined than some of his previous appearances before Congress. The annual sp .....

.... a large issue and much later in 527 AD the Justinian Code came about, which was just a collection of the laws in ancient Rome. Back in these ancient times there were three very intelligent philosophers known as Pericles, Plato, and Aristotle. All of these men were teachers and gave some valid contributions to the idea of democracy. After both the fall of democracy in Greece and in Rome, democracy was put on a long hold, and did not come back into power for many years. During this time Kings became very powerful under the idea of divine right. Divine right was .....

.... could clone a particular organ for the individual, which would work better than a transplant organ. Cloning would certainly expand the range of medicine greatly and enhance the possibilities of conquering disease, such as Parkinson¡¦s disease, cancer and other diseases that were considered incurable . Also, cloning could be used to increase the population of endangered species of animals and save them from extinction. It would help maintain a natural balance on the earth ,and life cycle could be continued. Cloning would certainly benefit couples who are infertil .....

.... that “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.� The forefathers of our country meant for the people to own and use firearms, and any law or control on that right would be unconstitutional. Gun control activists essentially believe the Second Amendment guarantees only to its militia the right of arms, but the “Gun control proponents have yet to identify even a single quote from one of the founders to support their claim� (Silver 78). The 2nd Amendme .....

.... him. Another way the death penalty deters murder, is the fact that if the killer is dead, he will not be able to kill again. Most supporters of the death penalty feel that offenders should be punished for their crimes, and that it does not matter whether it will deter the crime rate. Supporters of the death penalty are in favour of making examples out of offenders, and that the threat of death will be enough to deter the crime rate, but the crime rate is irrelevant. According to Isaac Ehrlich's study, published on April .....

.... of their potential lack basic skills. As remarked by Maarten de Wit, an author who's article I found on the World Wide Web, affirmative action beneficiaries are "not the best pick, but only the best pick from a limited group." Another article I found, "Affirmative action: A Counter-Productive Policy" by Ernest Pasour also on the W.W.W., is one example which reveals that Duke, a very famous and prestigious university, adopted a resolution requiring each of it's department to hire at least one new African-American for a faculty position the 1993 date.

.... of airline safety. The FAA has not tried to solve a problem until after a problem has already occurred. They have not tried to prevent problems when it may impose a high cost on to the airline industry either. In August 1990 the FAA issued a rule that required airlines to install fire-resistant cabins into new planes. The materials were also supposed to be installed into the cabins of in-service planes that required a “ significant” amount of the cabin replaced. The FAA failed to define what a substantial amount of the cabin was. The airlines als .....
