The Watergate Scandal
.... August 21, 1971 and June 17, 1972. During
their sixth break-in on June 17, they were caught. (Secret Agenda) At
approximately 2:30 in the morning on this date, they were caught by police
in the Watergate Hotel. Police seized a walkie talkie, 40 rolls of
unexposed film, two 35 millimeter cameras, lock picks, pen-sized tear gas
guns, and bugging devices. (Gold 75). The burglars and two of their
accomplices, G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt, were indicted in September
of 1972. They were charged with burglary, wire-tapping, and conspiracy.
They were subsequently convicted of these charges four months later.

The Line Item Veto Act Of 1995
.... that refuses to address the nations major problems. The
Congress has a hard time getting bills passed through the President unless
he agrees with every line of the bill. If we passed the line-item-veto
bill this would save a lot of time and money. We would see many more bills
getting passed instead of a government caught up in gridlock.
In the government today, getting re-elected is the main concern of
our Congressmen. Therefore, their first priority is not always what is
best for the country or for their political party. Instead they will ask,
"what will get me re-elected?" Congress almost always reacts based o .....

Should The U.S. Accuse Middle Eastern Countries For Supporting Terrorism?
.... responsible for the bombing the United States blamed a foreign, and
more precisely, a Middle Eastern terrorist organization for the activity
(26). However, the recently arrested terrorist, known as Theodore
Kaczynski, is also an American citizen who executed his evil plots on
Americans, from American soil. Moreover, Bruce Hoffman states in his book
Inside Terrorism that various other Americans who act as terrorists, live
and work on American soil (83). Americans such as Lee Harvey Oswald have
committed some events in the past, such as assassinations. Therefore, the
United States undoubtedly harbors terrorists who are res .....

Affirmative Action
.... and women hired by government and industry and admitted into
colleges and universities."(Faundez, 213)
Affirmative action is important especially in the work force.
Before affirmative action, minorities and women felt, and seemed to be,
discriminated against being chosen for the job. Affirmative action was to
help with the "increasing of opportunities for those that were previously
discriminated against"(Lemann, 145). Affirmative action was created to
not only help Black-Americans, but to help "many groups beyond women and
minorities including the disabled, veterans, economically disadvantaged and
others."(Nicolaus, , 87 .....

The Mass Media And Politics
.... citizens, such as voting, they need to be informed. Lewis Powell goes
on to say,
"For most citizens, the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is hopelessly unrealistic. In seeking out the
news, the press therefore acts as an agent of the public at large.
It is the means by which people receive that free flow of
information and ideas essential to intelligent self government."
No citizen is able to obtain all of the "newsworthy" information they
need alone. The press provides the people with the information necessary
for democracy in the United St .....

Communications Decency Act: Regulation In Cyberspace

religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press....” The Act takes away this right. The Constitution-
defying traitors creating these useless laws do not they understand the medium
they're trying to control. What they “claim” is that they are trying to protect
our children from moral threatening content.
This “protect our helpless children” ideology is bogus. If more
government officials were more knowledgeable about online information they would
realize the huge flaw the Communication Decency Act contains. We don't need the

The Federal Bureau Of Investigation (FBI)
.... 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 Motor Vehicle Theft Act was passed in October 1919, by which the
federal government could investigate criminals who evaded state laws but
had no other federal violations, the Bureau's jurisdiction was further
broadened.
The years from 1921 to 1933 were sometimes called the "lawless
years". After the passage of Prohibition, which made it illegal to sell or

The Electoral College
.... With the Electoral College in
effect, the fate of the presidency still lied in the hands of elite America.
Each state appointed a number of electors equal to the number seats that
state carried in the house and senate. In other words, when a citizen cast
a vote, he/she is not directly voting the president in, rather that party's
board of electors. Considering there are 538 members of the Electoral
College, a vote of one more than half, 270, are needed to vote in a
president. This very concept has sparked a debate that still continues
today. Why should less than twelve states be capable of determining the
fate of 50 stat .....

Imperialism: And The Way It Took Away Tranquillity
.... should exist between the two. Man,
the handiwork of God, comes first; money, the handiwork of man, is of
inferior importance. Man is the master, money the servant, but upon all
important questions of the nineteenth century European countries tended to
make money the master and man the servant.
There are many arguments to support Imperialism, like education,
industrialization, medicine, employment, agriculture, natural resources et
cetera. The list goes on forever. Some say that imperialism is an ever
giving system, with no end to it's resource. But this isn't at all a list
of benefits for the imperial countries. This, in fact, .....

The Political Issue Of Airbag Safety
.... the law in their favor. The article mainly talked about
regulators setting new standards, requiring new and better airbags for all
cars. New and better technologies mean more tests that cost money from auto
manufacturer. Maybe the new technology or new airbags it self cost more
money to make. As I learn from my economic class, it not hard to figure out
that the increase cost of producing also will also result in the increase
in the cost of consuming. Because it would be impossible to expect the auto
industries to cut their profit. Some auto manufacturers do not like This
new regulation so they will try to fight it. Regulators wil .....
