- ... do what the people were not: start spending money. He called this "priming the pump" of the economy. I think that most economists believe that only massive U.S. defense spending in preparation for World War II cured the Great Depression. After the success of Keyne's economic beliefs were proven, almost all free governments around the world became Keynesian. These policies have dramatically reduced the severity of recessions since then ... were three times their normal size. The fact that all this occurred even before the first act of government intervention is a major refutation of laissez-faire ideology.

- 3173: Fighting For Our Love Ones
- ... States, have watched a love one endure the pain of chemotherapy, uncontrollable muscle spasms, or blindness. Our love ones not only suffer physical pain, but mental anguish as well. Our dying loves ones are at war with our Federal Government. They are fighting for a chance at a better quality of life. They are fighting for the legalization of marijuana for medical use. Until marijuana is legalized for medical use, our ... Honestly, would people fake having deadly diseases such as cancer or AIDS to obtain marijuana? If so, our competent doctors can detect these things. Do they think it would be a backward step for the "War on Drugs?" How can a medical breakthrough be a backward step for the "War of Drugs?" If anything, it would be showing the American public that drugs can serve a good purpose. It would be more like a forward step for the "War of Drugs" and an onward ...

Decres, in turn, appointed a Flemish engineer, Pierre Forfait, to see to the construction of the landing fleet. Forfait's ... not to be outdone, donated a ship of 120 guns. Patriotic fever ran its course throughout France. Smaller villages supplied sailcloth and rope, cannons and ammunition. Coastal dockyards worked around the clock producing the maritime war machine.

- 3177: Holocaust Revisited
- ... From the facts of the Holocaust and the thousands of volumes of literature written about the Holocaust, I have derived that the “policy of genocide” was prefigured in Nazi persecutions of the Jews before the war. This paper will discuss the measures in which the Jews were tormented by the Nazi regime. I have read several books on the history and theories of the Holocaust. Although Michael Marrus has written a ... is that the Holocaust is unique because the intentions of it were unprecedented. The Nazis’ first and foremost goal was to eliminate the Jewish people as a whole. The result of the conditions of the war, in my opinion, were merely an excuse to cover this apparent elimination goal.

- 3179: Letter From A Birmingham Jail
- ... our freedom we will so appeal to your heart and conscience that we will win you in the process. Martin Luther King, Jr. While there have been many persons of importance in the struggle for Civil Rights for black Americans, it would be hard to argue that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had the greatest impact in both the white and black community. It was Dr. King's broad vocabulary, oratory ... winner Taylor Branch, in Parting the Waters, describes King as incredibly articulate and intelligent. He demonstrates Kings work ethic and personifies King as somewhat of a maverick in a time when a passive position towards civil rights was the norm.

This is what Sumner called the “Slave Power Conspiracy.” Slavery stirred up a lot of hard feelings though the slavery issue was not the hottest of the problems associated with territorial expansion. War with Mexico and Great Britain worried many of the people who were against expansion. James Polk had been elected when the wars were on the verge of breaking out.

He obviously wanted nothing to do with Britain’s powerful navy, for he agreed to a compromise that gave the United States far less of Oregon than the public wanted. The Mexico situation was different in that Polk did not have the fear of Mexico that he had of Great Britain. Polk felt a war with Mexico would only prove profitable for the United States, so he inticed the Mexicans to attack. Once Mexico attacked, Polk claimed he had to defend the United States, for Mexico had invaded American ...
