Illegal Immigration
.... 300,000 legal immigrants to enter the U.S.
per year. In fact, N.P.G. says that 20% of Americans want immigration
completely stopped. Taking these numbers as the truth, it is clear that America
thinks that we have too many immigrants.
Such a dislike of immigration is interesting considering the success of
past immigration. Many people would say that today's immigrants are somehow
different than those of the past. However, the truth is that the
similarities between the immigrants of today and those of the past are numerous.
Their reasons for coming to this country are often similar. Many of the
immigrants of the late 19 .....

The Policies Of My Way
.... days, Trudeau's love of trial by combat was predominant.
Mackenzie King would have never touched the unholy trinity of divorce,
abortion and homosexuality: each one of these issues is a sleeping dog best
left to lie; each could only infuriate conservative Canada from coast to
coast. Since King dared not touch them seriatim he certainly would not
have touched them together-in an omnibus bill.
This, Trudeau did joyously. The myths-makers have it at this was
Trudeau's first deliberated joust, the kingship being the final prize. But
Trudeau had no leadership aspirations at the time; all that he had, still
has, wa .....

Effects Of Television Violence
.... children. The effects have been seen in a number of cases. In
New York, a 16-year-old boy broke into a cellar. When the police
caught him and asked him why he was wearing gloves he replied that he
had learned to do so to not leave fingerprints and that he discovered
this on television. In Alabama, a nine-year-old boy received a bad
report card from his teacher. He suggested sending the teacher
poisoned candy as revenge as he had seen on television the night
before. In California, a seven-year-old boy sprinkled ground-up glass
into the the lamb stew the family was to eat for dinner. When asked
why he did it he replied that he wanted .....

History Of The American Drug War
.... that nothing in the law would
prohibit doctors from prescribing these drugs in the legitimate
practice of medicine. The people who wrote the Harrison Act and
Marijuana Tax Act in 1937, agreed that a prohibition on what people
could put into their bodies was an unconstitutional infringement on
personal liberties.
Marijuana was outlawed in 1937. The reason for it being
outlawed was that the plant had a violent effect on the degenerate
races. The American Medical Association testified that the .....

Marijuana
.... of the most influential musical composers of all
times. Marley's music has persevered throughout the years. He openly admitted,
on many occasions, to smoking marijuana before he wrote and composed songs.
Marley's influence is global. His nickname of "the Legend" has distinguished
him from many other musicians. His global fame separates him from all other
musicians. Many people have attributed Marley's creative genius to his use of
marijuana.
Socially, marijuana is better from the standpoint of addiction.
Marijuana is less addictive than tobacco. Essentially marijuana is neither as
physically nor mentally addictiv .....

hopelessness" that many inmates have (Szumski 21).
Moreover, another technique used to rehabilitate criminals is
counseling. There is two types of counseling in general, individual
and group counseling. Individual counseling is much more costly than
group counseling. The aim of group counseling is to develop positive
peer pressure that will influence its members. One idea in many
sociology text is that group problem-solving has definite advantages
over individual problem-solving. The idea is that a wider vari .....

Violence Against Women Act
.... was afraid to go shopping or spend any
money on her own. All three of these things clearly interfere and
affect interstate commerce. Women like Mrs. Benenson are the reason
the act was passed.
There has been a long history of judgements in favor of
Congress's power to legislate using the commerce clause as a
justification. For the past fifty years, Congress's right to interpret
the commerce clause has been unchallenged by the Court with few
exceptions. There is no rational reason for this court to .....

People Accused Of Violent Crimes Should Not Be Allowed To Post Bail
.... of court appearances or of flight to avoid prosecution or
failure to appear. A judge, when deciding if bail is to be granted, does not
just flip a coin to decide. He or she looks at all aspects of the situation.
It all rests in the judge's hands. When a judge looks at a person accused of a
violent crime, such as murder, a few things are liable to pop into perspective.
One would be to how violent and detrimental the accusations are. Any rational
thinking person would realize that if arrested, they are in suspicion.
Therefore, a state appointed judge is also going to realize that this person
must be a threat, especially if accuse .....

Police Brutality
.... died, none where white. Four of the five men that died where
African Americans, and the other man was a Mexican National.
If the incident in Tampa Bay does not show a person racism, this event
might. In New York City, an average of seven Latin Americans were killed a year
between 1986 to 1989, but in 1990, that number increased greatly. In that year,
twenty-three Latin Americans were killed by police gunfire.
When asked how he felt about racism being involved in police brutality,
Yussuf Naimkly of the University of Regina commented:
"Excessive police force against blacks has always been tolerated, because as a

Marijuana Effects

paper that is twisted at the ends. A blunt is normally an emptied cigar
wrapper filled with marijuana. In a blunt you can fit much more marijuana.
Though a blunt isn't always purely marijuana, it can be mixed with other
drugs such as angel dust. The results are varied when someone smokes
marijuana.
Different people will get different results, and certain types of cannabis
can cause different effects. The amount of THC (marijuana's main Active
chemical) may also change the result. If alcohol, or other drug use is
occurring while smoking marijuana, the effect could be different. A first
time marijuana smoker will probabl .....

In 1979 (A.D.) Carlton E. Turner visited China and found
marijuana was not in use in formal medical places. J. D. P. Graham
of the Welsh National School of Medicine wrote, "One not need take to
seriously the anecdotal use of it's use for many purposes in China or
by the Hindus in the pre-Christian Millennia ...and by the Arabs!" In
1890 in England's "Lancet" said cannabis extract was good for .....

History And Uses Of Marijuana
.... that this "explosion" has been
characteristic only of the contemporary scene. The plant has been
grown for fiber and as a source of medicine for several thousand
years, but until 500~ AD its use as a mind-altering drug was almost
solely confined in India. The drug and its uses reached the Middle and
Near East during the next several centuries, and then moved across
North Africa, appeared in Latin America and the Caribbean, and finally
entered the United States in the early decades of this century.
Marijuana can even be used as "Biomass" fuel, where the pulp ( .....
