- 20912: Justice
- ... officer was shot and the public was behind her. It was a case of public revenge where the mind- set was "We're going to get the guy that did this horrible crime. It doesn't matter that he was defending his home." This type of public revenge could include the execution of Shively. No matter what verdict would have been handed-down, someone, somewhere would have been unsatisfied. If Shively were sentenced to be executed, then his family and friends would have had to fight for justice until the day he died. As the verdict of "not guilty" arrived, Paterson's family, many police officers, and friends of the family cried for justice. Yet, justice had been served. Equal and satisfying justice has always been a problem. On May 30, 1939 a group of Texas Rangers ... a young lady named Bonnie.

The second phase of the employment provision went into affect July 26, 1994, and was implemented for the approximately 666,000 U.S. employers with 15 or more employees. Many opponents of the ADA suggested that the law would cost small businesses too much. They contended that the legislation would backlog the courts with lawsuits from scorned job ... losing comprehensive medical benefits from programs like Medicaid. "Most of us are scared to death to get a job and lose out on poverty-based health care," said Justin Dart, former chairperson of the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities.

- 20914: Proposition 6: Prohibition of Sale of Horse Meat for Human Consumption
- ... without any history of the horse or its owner so there is no way to tell if the animal was stolen or if it has had a bad medical history which could result in somebody's pet to be slaughtered or sending a sick and/ or disease infected animal to be made into food. Arguments against: Horsemeat is commonly used for sustenance in other countries. Proposition 6 would interfere with the ... food and industrial uses for example glue. It is hard not to be a hypocrite on this topic because if you say yes to this proposition somebody could respond by saying you eat beef that's the same thing except it has been capitalized and if you say no somebody would say "would you go to a neighbors barbecue if he was preparing dog." My opinion is partially affected by the reputation of horsemeat being used in dog food, many other types of pet products.

- ... unpleasant and sinister concepts, such as death. Fascination and personification of death has become a common theme in poetry, but very few poets mastered it as well as Emily Dickinson did. Although most of Dickinson s poems are morbid, a reader has no right to overlook the aesthetic beauty with which she embellishes her dark art. It is apparent that for Dickinson, death is more than an event, which occurs at ... every being. For her, death is a person, who will take her away with Him, when the right time comes, and if she cannot stop for Him, He will kindly stop for her. Thus, Dickinson s poem Because I could not stop for Death not only makes this vague concept more concrete and creates a very vivid image of death, but also makes us realize that when He comes, there will ... back at what we are leaving behind.

- ... state, they have the ability to take over the government at any given time. In Power and Choice, Shively questions the notion of the infrequency of military governments.

This ... of governments such as democratic, monarchical, and communist governments are all legitimized either by the electoral process as the democratic government is, by the rule of succession as the monarchical government is, or by Lenin's theory that the Communist party must lead the revolution. In all other senses, the military government has no process of choice and therefore is not a true political state. Shively states that politics, consists of ... devices of communication contributed to the failure of the three groups to successfully defeat the terrorists and spare the lives of the soldiers killed.

Ecuador staddles the equator on the Pacific coast of South America and ... by the pilot, Bartolome Ruiz de Andrade, on an exploratory mission for Francisco Pizarro, who himself remained further north. Pizarro was not to arrive as conqueror for several years. Meanwhile, the rivalry of Huayna Capac's two sons grew. The Inca of Cuzco, Huascar, went to war against the Ecuadorian Inca, Atahualpa. After several years of fighting, Atahualpa defeated Huascar near Ambato in central Ecuador and was thus the ruler of the weakened and still divided Inca Empire when Pizarro arrived in 1532 with plans to conquer the Incas. Pizarro's advance was rapid and dramatic. His horse-riding, amour- wearing and cannon firing conquistadors were believed to be godlike and, although few in number, spread terror among the Indians.
