.... state constitution were set in the same frame of mind when they wrote the constitution. The United States was in the aftermath of breaking apart from England and Texas was hurt from the break up of the confederation. Their mind set was the same, in that they wanted to be different. But in a sense they wanted the best for the people. When the founders of the constitution and the writers of the state constitution wrote this document, there were a lot of similarities. Since the idea and direction was the same for both, some of the rights stated in the Texas Bill .....

.... inform us by the televised news, major newspapers and (large) radio personalities of cover-ups, conspiracies and or wrong doings by our so-called leaders. Are we always told the truth by the mass media? By the government? By the media speaking for or as directed by the government? Or has the line between truth and lies been so badly blurred in politics that we will never know what truly goes on in our political system? The two movies examined, both play in some way on the function of the mass media in American politics. We can see how much and how heavily .....

.... Chief Examiner was changed to Director of the Bureau of Investigation. When the Bureau was established, there were few federal crimes. The Bureau of Investigation primarily investigated violations of laws involving national banking, bankruptcy frauds, antitrust crime, naturalization, and neutrality violation. With the April 1917 entry of the United States into World War I (1914-1918), the Bureau was given the responsibility of investigating espionage, sabotage acts, sedition (resistance against lawful authority), and draft violations. When the National Mo .....

.... think that the coffee I was drinking had potency. A while ago I was reading one of those bathroom-reading books that had all the random facts and quotes. It said that if a person consumed 80 to 100 cups of coffee in a day you could go into convulsions and die. I have had bad days in which I have had like maybe 10 cups, but never have I got close to 80. I began to realize that what I was drinking all along was a drug. What a queer drug it is. Caffeine is related to other drugs such as tobacco, and marijuana, in that it grows readily in nature and uses its affect .....

.... marginalized, at [a] considerable cost and danger to others, by records of drug arrests and convictions (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. It has been tried in other countries. One of the countries that have experimented with legalization is Switzerl .....

.... Association (NRA) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Congress has had a tough time passing any legislation that would benefit the public and curtail the sail and manufacture of armor piercing bullets, automatic rifles and Uzis. Unfortunately, we tend to interpret the Constitution to broadly. Obviously, in the late 1700's, there were no deadly weapons to contend with. They had muskets, which could hardly be used in a very swift and deadly manner. Granted, the musket could kill, but if you asked any semi-sensible person if they would rather use .....

.... other people, the question becomes: Is drug use an action that, although performed by an individual, threatens the vital interests of others? Using the example of a casual, responsible drug user who is a contributing (or non-detracting) member of society, it is clear that more harm is done to others if the user must resort to illegal methods to obtain his drugs. The very act of buying drugs is intrinsically illegal and carries the threat of establishing a criminal record for the buyer. This can have a devastating effect on his family, his lifestyle, and his .....

.... it was wrong of him to use his status as chairman of the Housing Authority and award receiver to gather extra followers to join the suicide. Here he had overstepped the line to abuse the power he was appointed by putting other people's lives at jeopardy. Being in his position, he was most likely aware that he had many supporters believing in him who would gladly follow his lead. It is at this point where he chose to abuse his power by taking advantage of the people who had the most respect and admiration for him. Charles Manson is an example of a cult leader wh .....
