- 17351: The Death Penalty Is Needed
- ... However, public outrage and legal challenges caused the practice to come to a halt. By 1967, capital punishment had virtually halted in the United States, pending the outcome of several court challenges. Since our nation's founding, the government, colonial, federal and state, has punished murder and, until recent years, rape with the ultimate sanction: death. I think that the nation should still actively use this form of punishment when necessary ... do not have lower crime rates or murder rates than states without such laws. And states that have abolished capital punishment, or instituted it, show no significant changes in either crime or murder rates. Don't murderers deserve to die? Certainly, in general, the punishment should fit the crime. But in civilized society, we reject the "eye for an eye" principle of literally doing to criminals what they do to their victims: The penalty for rape cannot be rape, or for arson, the burning down of the arsonist's house. We should , therefore, punish the murderer with death along with all other heinous crimes. If execution is unacceptable, what is the alternative? Incapacitation.

- 17353: The End of the 20th Century
- The End of the 20th Century Next month we will celebrate the end of the 20th century and the beginning of a new millennium. The year 2000. Although the third millennium doesn't officially begin until Jan. 1, 2001, when every numeral in 1999 rolls over and the year 2000 comes in, a lot is going to be going on.

Thus, the millennium doesn't officially end until the last day of the year 2000. However, the majority of the world is preparing to celebrate the new millenium this year.
