- ... I was furious, it had been taken so far that anything I wanted to do at this point, was irrelevant. The changes were already there. It would have been different if he had had a gun, or had intended to hurt us. I am still second guessing and playing the situation over in my head. Lastly, neurotic anxiety- the overwhelming impulses from the id; the loss of control. I still laugh when I remember what I did. It was total impulse. Without thinking I chased him out to his car, read him his license plate, and then cursed at him. Every thought of ...

Barnett article In reports concerning the Syracuse program, researchers estimated the costs incurred by control group and program group participants due to court processing, probation supervision, placement in foster care, nonsecure detention, and secure detention.

- ... company marine terminals to install equipment to capture toxic vapors that escape when tankers are unloaded-much like the nozzles now found on pumps at gas stations, but on a much larger scale. These vapor control systems capture over 95 percent of toxic fumes released when tankers unload. This rule made such common sense that it was approved by the US EPA in 1992 and is now part of the state implementation plan (SIP) for the federal Clean Air Act. Seven out of L.A.'s twelve refineries were in compliance with this rule, known as Rule 1142, and using vapor control systems by the time it took effect on Jan. 1, 1994.

In conclusion, men ...

These studies show that television does influence children and ... viewers should be critical thinkers. They have to be taught how to interpret what they see. Aggression is a pervasive and unalterable aspect in every child's personality (Kauffman 185).

There are two fundamental ways in which a teacher can help an aggressive child according to psychodynamic tenets: first, by accepting the ... liable for people who imitate the films. People have to remember that they just make the movies, they don't sell the guns. It is the parent's job to teach their children how to control their aggression.

- 1877: Hate Crimes
- ... acts of violence but are actually bias-related crimes." Many people do not consider crimes against women actual hate crimes, but they are. Gender- motivated violence reflects some of men's efforts to dominate and control women. Not every violent assault against a woman should be considered a hate crime. A crime against a woman should be considered a hate crime only when the crime presents evidence of bias against women ... and heightened media coverage about their rights and their role in society."

- 1878: The History of the Panama Canal
- ... the Spanish government formally authorized the construction of a canal and the creation of a company to build it. Nothing came of this effort, however, and the revolt of the Spanish colonies soon took the control of possible canal sites out of Spanish hands. The republics of Central America instead tried to interest groups in the United States and Europe in building a canal, and it became the subject of debate ... canal. In 1977 the United States and Panama agreed on two new treaties to replace their 1903 agreement. These treaties provided for Panama's sovereignty over the Canal Zone shortly after their ratification and its control of the canal itself at the beginning of 2000, but left the US the right to defend the canal's neutrality even thereafter. The treaties took effect in 1979. In 1996, 13,536 ships used ... weeks to go around the tip of South America. I think the Panama Canal was a pretty good US investment.

- 1879: Won't Libertarian Socialism Destroy Individuality?
- ... action") we can suggest that individuality will have little to fear from an anarchist society. For anarchists, like Mill, real liberty requires social equality. For "[i]f individuals are to exercise the maximum amount of control over their own lives and environment then authority structures in these areas most be so organised that they can participate in decision making." [Pateman, Op. Cit., p. 43] Hence individuality will be protected, encouraged and ... prevail rather than the "rule of law". Custom is a body of living institutions that enjoys the support of the body politic, whereas law is a codified (read dead) body of institutions that separates social control from moral force. This, as anyone observing modern Western society can testify, alienates everyone. A just outcome is the predictable, but not necessarily the inevitable outcome of interpersonal conflict because in a traditional anarchistic society people are trusted to do it themselves. Anarchists think people have to grow up in a social environment free from the confusions generated by a fundamental discrepancy between morality, and social control, to fully appreciate the implications. However, the essential ingredient is the investment of trust, by the community, in people to come up with functional solutions to interpersonal conflict. This stands in sharp contrast with ...

- ... of the normal wear and tear of driving. Once they enter a car, children notice that all of a sudden the rules have changed: It's O.K. to be mad, very upset, out of control, and use bad language that's ordinarily not allowed. By the time they get their driver's license, adolescents have assimilated years of road rage. The road rage habit can be unlearned, but in my ... in the trigger-theory of anger, which sees road raging a result of maladjusted individuals who need therapy to help them manage their intense anti-social emotions. For this reason, anger management therapies and stress control programs have been around for decades for those who can afford psychotherapy. However, in my view applying this psychotherapeutic approach to drivers in general will have limited success because road rage is a generic, cultural ... history and this number will continue to grow for some time. Therefore the streets are not reserved for the optimum, skilled driver, but accommodate a variety of driver groups with varying skill, acuity, and emotional control. Raging and venting their indignation against these "idiot drivers" or "bad drivers" only leads to stress, confrontation, and worse. These drivers need help and motivation for developing more intelligent thinking. Thinking of alternative explanations ...
