.... goes as far to employ some of the most renowned economist's in the world to try to solve the deficit mess, and they still haven't figured it out. The budget simulation exercise by The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget provided choices Congress has to use as its guide for the upcoming year. How hard can it be to balance the budget I thought? After doing the exercised I realized the title of the simulation exercise, "The FY 1997 Budget: An Exercise in Hard Choices," could not have been more appropriate. It is possible though to balance the Federal Budget, provided you follow 3 simple rules. First you must decide what you feel is important, then cut without consciousn ....

.... same time as the cigarettes, and given reasonable cause for suspicion, the school does have the legal right to search its students, and finally, the school officials had the right to search her purse because there was a reasonable doubt of her claiming to innocence being true. TLO's 4th amendment rights were however, in fact not violated due to the reasonable cause and suspicion of her smoking, so the search was truly reasonable. And there is the fact that the teacher caught her smoking. Obviously it is the teacher's responsibility to take the student to the principal for suspension or other means of punishment. When TLO was asked whether or not she had been smoking, sh ....

.... This tendency of voting by race for the liberal or conservative candidate has been a continuing occurrence. Southern turn out for elections has been significantly lower than the rest of the nation as well over the same time period. This bias of the past 30 years as well as voter turn out has only recently began to change in the South. In the beginning of and prior to the 1960's the South was a Democratic stronghold and it was rare for there to be any competition from Republicans in these non competitive states (Mulcahy p.56). A poll taken in the 1960's showed that " the southern states were the obvious stronghold of Democratic identification. The extreme case was Loui ....

.... Act was not meant to please everyone, but it was meant to clean our water, and that should please a wide majority. We should not have to sacrifice our health for a business that does nothing for us. Clean water is much more of a priority to us citizens than is the well being of a company that we probably have never heard of and never will. If the Clean Water Act Amendments of 1995 are passed, all that we have worked for since 1972 will be lost. It will take all of the advances made to clean our water and totally reverse them. This bill will take apart the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, leaving loopholes for businesses desiring to pollute our waters. This ....

.... by desecrating the American flag. They are the first to hid behind the first amendment (Freedom of Speech). For people to say they have the right to burn the American flag, sighting their first amendment rights, they have some kind of warped sense of expression. If people continue to desecrate the American flag, it will lose its significance and value. From 1968 to 1989, politicians and true red blooded Americans understood how important it was to respect the American flag. Congress passed a law in which it prohibited desecration of the American flag in 1968. According to the law, it was illegal to cast contempt, either by word or act upon the American flag ((Federal law, ....

.... not for a long-term stay. The patients are in need of a long-term treatment plan that can't be achieved through an Emergency Room. When the Mental Health Facility receives a phone call in reards to a patient that needs placemnet within their care, it takes hours for them to decide if they will take them as a patient. They have to go through the hierarchy of offices before they will give the okay for the patient to be transported. Once the patient has been accepted, there is an immense amount of paperwork that must be completed before the patient can be released from the Medical Hospital care. If the patient shows signs or symptoms of anything else other than a men ....

.... intravenously to comatose patients (Compton’s, 1). Debate has flourished against those who accept passive , but reject active. Questions are asked why one form is accepted and not the other. The distinction that is made between the two of them is that active is murder, while passive is merciful. Turning off support systems is a positive act of death (Singer, 76). In the Encyclopedia of Bio-ethics, some religious views of were given. Hebraic and Jewish denominations strongly oppose the practice. They believe life is a precious and divine gift, and that it must be sustained if possible. “Death must never be hastened by intention. Physicians who kill patients in order to s ....

.... given a home, food ,clothing and possibly a job. I realize that there are people out there who believe that the system we are currently using is acceptable. In which case, they may argue that the criminals of today are just misguided and misunderstood. They are the ones who want less crime, and a hardly demeaning lifestyle for criminals. What is the point of having a life sentence? We have people who have killed in cold blood, sitting in jail to rot. This makes me think. Why should a criminal live better than I am? We give the criminals of today too much credit and not enough hard time. I would give them enough food to live on, a cot, toilet, and sink. if ....
