The Need For Congress In The U.S
.... country because without them we would be
living in chaos. Of course, all our laws are not perfect but for the most part
our Congress does a good job at keeping this country under control. The
problems with lawmaking that most people see is the time involved in getting a
law passed. In order for a bill to become a law it must first be "introduced to
the House or Senate, or both, then referred to a committee." (Cummings / Wise
479). This can be a very time consuming process. Anyone interested in having .....

A Victory For Clinton
.... he will not touch the areas of social security, defense,
interest on the debt, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans benefits, military pensions,
and the Energy Department research labs with cuts. This means under Dole we
would be likely to see cuts in national parks with the number of rangers, the
Border Patrol with fewer agents, the Bureau of Prisons with fewer prison spaces,
NASA with fewer space shuttle flights, the FBI with fewer agents, drug
interdiction with 2,960 fewer DEA agents, and education with fewe .....

Political And Economic Changes In Bulgaria
.... a halt, the Socialists, who lack the
kind of fiercely loyal police and media that have sustained President Slobodan
Milosevic in neighbouring Serbia, submitted to the protesters demands on
Wednesday, February 5th 1997. They agreed to hand over power to a caretaker
government until new elections in mid-April, which they are unlikely to win,
when recent polls conclude that only 10% of the population currently support the
BSP. "We'd better celebrate now, because we have very hard days ahead," said
Ivan Kos .....

Canada - Of The United States Of America
.... foreign ownership, and the final
payment for our country, free trade. All in all we have our own government, our
own flag, our own anthem; but are we really Canadian or a not quite United State
of America?
In Canada, strong government involvement plays an immense role in
determining the destiny of its people for the good of the society.
In Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades before you.
It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master...

The Employment Equity Act: A Short Paper Evaluating The Success Of The Act.
.... Report on equality in employment
(the Abella Report) to the federal government. "The Commission was established
in recognition of the fact that women, visible minorities, the handicapped and
native peoples were being denied the full benefits of employment." Based on
the findings of the Abella Commission, the federal government implemented "The
Employment Equity Act" in 1986. This short paper will evaluate the success of
the "Act" and will argue that although some progress has been made, the .....

The Canadian Senate
.... Andrew Donogh
Today the Canadian Senate does not do all that much for the Canadian
government. It no longer does the job that it was created to do. It barely
stops any bills that go through. They're paid a lot of money to just sit and do
nothing.
The Canadian Government could work fine without the Senate. Just get
rid of it, and have the governor look at the bills closely before he signs them.
Just in case the governing party try's to pass a bad bill.
Or it could be changed, have less senators .....

Capital Punishment: For
.... Clauss. Just sit here and think
how he feels. His daughter was just brutully murdered... and on top of all this
he has to control his rage in the court room. Put your self in shoes for a
minute, would you really want this man back on the streets on parolle for good
behavior in prison. Would you find any relief in knowing he is locked up in a
comfy jail cell with cable tv, and recieving a chance for parolle in 20 or so
years. No this man needs to be on death row, awaiting execution.

Why The Death Penalty Is Dead Wrong
.... minute, Don's face leaned partially forward, but he was still very
conscious. He was shuddering uncontrollably and his body was racked with spasms.
His head continued to snap back. His fists were clenched tightly. After
several more minutes, the most violent of the convulsions subsided. At this
time, the muscles along Don's left arm and back began twitching in a
wavelike motion under his skin. Spittle drooled from his mouth. Don Harling
took exactly ten minutes and 31 seconds to die. Approximately three m .....

Capital Punishment: For

must be secured as well, by threatening with the loss of their own life those
who violate what has been proclaimed as inviolable-the right of innocents to
live” (Haag, 67).
Other opponents argue that there is the chance of executing an innocent
prisoner. Hugo Adam Bedu and Michael L. Radelet collected evidence of every
capital punishment case after the 1930's. They concluded that 23 innocent
people, out of several thousand cases in the twentieth century, .....

Censorship
.... to discuss honestly. After all, what makes a thing
obscene? It is Something too vague perhaps to be defined. It's an elusive term
we use, but can't explain. Different people often see things differently. Some
see obscenity in nude pictures, statues, paintings, etc. While others find less
obscenity in these things. All the same, "obscene" isn't the same as "wrong" or
"bad". Clearly obscenity is not identical with evil. It only covers a single
segment of it. But what is that segment? A look at the words .....

Censorship: Gradual Loss Of Freedoms Promised In The Constitution

States, are the laughing stock of the rest of the world that inhabits the Web. A
few of our most ignorant politicians in Washington believe that they can control
a community that overspans borders, oceans, and vast distances. The rest of the
civilized world, on the Web or not, laughs at our arrogance, ignorance and just
plain stupidity. This idiocy has made its way into the "other" mass media, and
we, our leaders at least, look like foolish children. With per .....

Clinton Administration Policy Toward The Caribbean Country Of Haiti

of General Cedras, for their human rights violations.

Congress And The Change In Term Limits
.... This fact is not surprising. If most of a persons time is
spent meeting with lobbyists, constituents, and bureaucrats, that person may
actually come to believe what these influential people are saying. This is why
new blood needs to enter Congress more frequently, in order to avoid the highly
influenced Congress that is filled with old people with old ideals. Needless to
say the once optimistic freshmen were unsuccessful in their task, and it=s plain
to see why. Until that changes, Congress is not .....

Cold War Vs. United States

President Bush did not order the U.S army to invade Iraq after the U.S led
coalition force expelled Iraq's force in Kuwait. Another example would be when
Iraq's government massacred thousand of ethic minority Kurds when the Kurds
rebelled against Iraq government in northern Iraq. The United States did not do
a lot to help the Kurds because United States and the rest of the countries
around the world recognized Iraq as a sovereign state in the international

The Mythology Of Crime And Criminal Justice: Contributing Factors Of Crime
.... as a crime, no indictment or conviction for the commission of such an
act can be legally sustained. This provision is important in establishing the
difference between government by law and arbitrary or dictatorial government.
Under common law, a crime was generally classified as treason, felony,
or misdemeanor, but many offenses could not be defined exactly, and the rule was
adopted that any immoral act tending to the prejudice of the community was, per
se, a crime, and punishable by the courts. Crimes .....
