- 12294: Movie Review: A Time To Kill
- ... but this book was just too slow. However, another thing that made the movie more entertaining is the actors. The movie begins with the rape scene that you have probably heard about.

Anyway, what makes the scene so shocking is that it is a 10 year old girl ...

The next question that was asked was about all of the negative stories that were being told about the Kennedy's. The comments about the negative aspects of the presidency were also alike. "The Bay of Pigs was one of the most popular downfalls of the presidency, the president was taking the advise of his predecessors ... How much has been hidden from the public eye? Did the popularity of the president cover up the scandals of the "sleeping around"? I then asked the question, "How do you feel about Jack Kennedy's faithfulness to his wife?"

- 12296: Lassa Fever: An Old World Arenavirus
- ... Thinking she had merely pulled a muscle, she ignored the pain and went on about her business. After a week, however, the nurse had a throat so sore and so filled with ulcers, she couldn't swallow. Thinking she was suffering from one of the many bacterial diseases endemic to the area, her sisters administered every antibiotic they had on store in the town's Church of the Brethren Mission Hospital.

- 12297: Slavery
- ... back on board. So, again the question, why do it? The overall harsh treatment that the slaves had to endure was enough pain to last a lifetime. And in fact it did.

This was the way that the slave owners/masters showed ... The slaves were the ones manning the guns and Equiano tells how he had to do his job or they might kill him..."We were also, from our employment, very much exposed to the enemy’s shots; for we had to run nearly the whole length of the ship to bring the powder" (p.77).

- 12298: Effects Of Poverty
- ... is also becoming even poorer. There are many issues involved when looking at poverty. It is not simply enough (or correct) to say that the poor are poor due to their own (or their government’s) bad governance and management. In fact, you could quite easily conclude that the poor are poor because the rich are rich and have the power to enforce trade agreements, which favor their interests more than ... a stable social environment, freedom, and basic rights to have a fair chance for a decent life. Is this actually progress? On the other hand, are we fooled into believing that it is?

McNaghten used the insanity defense, when he was faced with the charge of killing Sir Robert Peele's private secretary. A jury had to decide, if he was conscious of the act or if he was temporary insane ( McCarty, 299-300 ). The jury clearly didn't have the professional training to make a competent decision.
