Number of words: 547 - Number of pages: 2.... then the muscles heal quicker adding more fiber increasing their bulk. Many athletes turn to steroids more often because they're cheaper then marijuana or cocaine. A ten week cycle of testosterone cypinate and methandrostone costs only about one hundred dollars. Steroids are also very hard to trace because of their water base composition. They can pass through the body within two days. All these benefits of steroids help an athletes become more competitive and increase their chance of being a winner. Of course everybody wants better biceps and triceps but wh .....

The Death Penalty: For The Common Good
Number of words: 439 - Number of pages: 2.... then prison is kidnapping and charging taxes is extortion. There is
a difference between crime and punishment. Are police officers wrong for
speeding to enforce the speeding laws? No. They also say that we should
value all human life. Even the most despicable. It is because we value
human life so much that we put such a terrible consequence for taking it.
One argument states that the death penalty does not deter people
from murdering. To abolish capital punishment on this basis would be way
off base. You would also have to get rid of prisons b .....

If Marijuana Were To Be Legal
Number of words: 788 - Number of pages: 3.... The same thing should happen with drugs. Marijuana
should be taxed heavily to increase our revenue. Marijuana and other drugs
would be made by the same people who make aspirin so the quality would be
assured, containing no poisons or adulterants. Sterile hypodermic needles
will be readily available at corner drug stores. These could be taxed
heavily because the users will be assured of "clean drugs."
Making drugs legal will reduce the great amounts of money spent on
enforcement every year. Drug dealers and users are one step ahead on the
enforcement pr .....

Capital Punishment: For
Number of words: 734 - Number of pages: 3.... in the past for the offence that he or she is planning,
and that what happened to another individual who committed this offence, can
also happen to me.
But individuals who commit any types of crime ranging from auto theft to
1st-Degree Murder, never take into account the consequences of their actions.
Deterrence to crime, is rooted in the individuals themselves. Every human has a
personal set of conduct. How much they will and will not tolerate. How far they
will and will not go. This personal set of conduct can be made or be broken by
friends, influence .....

Animal Testing
Number of words: 775 - Number of pages: 3.... Disease Control estimate that 70-80% of the common diseases killing Americans are preventable given a responsible diet and lifestyle. Drug testing on animals is inaccurate and does not benefit humans or animals at all. Animals including, but not limited to, dogs, cats, mice, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rhesus monkeys, imported primates, owls, deer, sheep, llama, and cattle are commonly used for vivisection. Vivisection is the medical term for the practice of experimenting on animals. Charles River Breeding Laboratories, a company owned by Bausch and Lo .....

Capital Punishment Deters Murder, And Is Just Retribution
Number of words: 374 - Number of pages: 2.... 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 16, 1976, eight
murders are deterred for each execution that is carried out in the U.S.A. He
goes on to say, "If on .....

California's Proposition 184: Three Strikes And You're Out
Number of words: 1105 - Number of pages: 5.... seemed to be political suicide, so most politicians backed the
initiative. Although many civil liberties groups opposed such mandatory
sentencing measures there was little they could in the face of tremendous voter
approval. Many voters did not realize that this bill could put potentially
incarcerate people for ludicrous amounts after the commission of a minor
offense. Even more voters did not realize the cost of implementing such a bill.
Now that this new legislation has been in effect for a year and the
tremendous negative effects it have become ob .....

The Presidio Trust
Number of words: 1057 - Number of pages: 4.... Recreation Area. In 1972, when the Golden Gate National Recreation Area was created, it was mandated that the Presidio be transferred to the park when it was no longer needed by the Army. In 1988 the Presidio was slated for closure by a BRAC (Base Realignment and Closures) commission and thus began the transfer of property to the National Park Service. In June of 1995 the Sixth U.S. Army marched out the Presidio, ending almost 219 years of military presence in the city.
By September 30, 1995 all Army Facilities were transferred to the National Park Service. .....
