Perhaps you would rather it be so slow and painless you do not even realize it is happening? Thats ... believe Robert Frosts poem Fire and Ice is meant to express. Although the poem is short, it holds a very interesting question to think about. The question is which way would you rather the world come to an end. There are two choices.

- 5986: Slavery - Events That Effected Slavery
- ... Compromise of 1820. Southerners would not go along with the railroad unless they saw hope for slavery in these territories. They felt they had to overturn the Missouri Compromise. Democrat Stephen A. Douglas started the new debate rolling. Douglas introduced the Nebraska bill in 1854 to organize a territorial government, which could then open the way to lay down railroad tracks. Southern senators, however, balked at any bill that would allow the ban on slavery in the territories to continue. Douglas reworked his bill. His new proposal divided the area into two territories: that of Kansas and that of Nebraska. It was implied, but not started, that Kansas would become a slave state, and Nebraska would be free of slavery. He ... Compromise meaningless. Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska act in 1854.

- We might assume that nothing new could be said about the issue of privacy behond the basic notion that it is something secluded from the inclusion of others, a virtue and right that every citizen of a democratic society might possess. However, if that were actually the case then we would not see our culture involved in debates about the issues regarding privacy and anonymity as they relate to new information technologies.
