- ... received in a period of five to thirty seconds. Whether one is sending e-mail to a person across the street or in Afghanistan, the transfer rate is virtually the same.

On the other hand, the postal service can send any kind of physical package ... cost of use for the two methods is very important. E-mail has many advantages and disadvantages when viewed from this angle, depending on the individual. First of all, e-mail requires some knowledge of computer operation. Anyone who wishes to use e-mail needs to know how to use the software that it requires, and one can only send e-mail to other people with the same knowledge. Secondly, a computer is needed.

There is no real proof of this, because of the simple fact that background checks cannot catch crime-minded "wanna-be's" who do not have records yet (Morganthau 34). Handgun Control Inc., the lobbying group that is the prime backer for the Brady bill, contends that the bill will work and ...

He was quoted at the time as saying: "If you know you have AIDS and you pass it on to someone who is not aware, that should be regarded as a very serious offense. I'm not talking about sins and morality; I'm talking about a sin against the community, a crime. We should look into that." However, nothing was proposed at the time.

A first reading of this phrase one might be think that this right, that which gives a person accused of a crime to have lawyers for his defense, is common knowledge being that it is among the most basic rights given to the citizenry of the public. However, the simple manner in which this amendment is phrased ... unless counsel is provided for him. This seems to us to be an obvious truth. Governments, both state and federal, quite properly spend vast sums of money to establish machinery to try defendants accused of crime.

Similarly there are few defendants charged with crime, few indeed, who fail to hire the best lawyers they can get to prepare and present their defense. That government hires lawyers to prosecute and defendants who have the money hire lawyers to defend ...
