.... the Electoral college, the constitutional convention explicitly rejected a proposal to have Congress elect the President. The Electoral College is still the center of the system, but all the related institutions and processes have changed dramatically. This is because the Constitution is so vague. It contains no provisions for organizing political parties, nominating candidates or campaigning for office.

The original provision for balloting by the Electoral College was flawed and had to be superseded by the 12th Amendment, which stated ....

.... Gould and Lord Craigmyle, “… means the painless killing of men and women to end their sufferings”(15). Why do so many people condone when it is almost every mans dream? If you consider the facts, everybody would like a painless death. I don’t know many people that would like a long and painful death. People would like to die easily or in their sleep. People expect their doctor to relieve them of pain when they are sick. Infact, humans even feel that their animals should be put to death if they are suffering. This is clearly stated by Janelle Rohr when she said, “A dying animal is quickly ‘put out of its misery,’ but no such consideration is offered to the ....

.... 1890's and the actions of giant business organizations, was more willing to accept progressive reforms than it had been earlier.

.... and you are the most qualified person to receive a job, you get it, but that is no longer the case. Now, in order to be employed, qualifications do not always matter as much as the color of a person's skin or his ethnicity. In dealing with this subject, the first question that is always asked is, "What is wrong with quotas? What is wrong with companies hiring a variety of blacks, Hispanics, women, and white males?" (“Counting Costs” p. 18)The problem is not with hiring a variety of people from different ethnic groups. The problem begins when the person who is best qualified for a job, loses the position to someone less qualified. More and more, white males are having pro ....

.... is the epitome of the first amendment: free speech. It is a place where people can speak their mind without being reprimanded for what they say, or how they choose to say it. The key to the world-wide success of the Internet is its protection of free speech, not only in America, but not in other countries where free speech is not protected by a constitution.

Through disciplined meditation, rituals and excessive reading of the scriptures one is able to correct insight and acquire wisdom and is allowed to engage in ordinary life, and will gain the knowledge to escape Hindu lifestyles and beliefs. I believe these world beliefs are truly pessimistic, due to the lack of knowledge and or common sense. It ....

.... is not a reflection on the DOJ programs themselves. Nor does it reflect the quality of their administration. It is a direct consequence of the legislative plan for federal funding of local crime prevention. That consequence was not by Congressional intent. For over a quarter century, the Congress has asked the Department of Justice to evaluate . But as the preceding Chapters show, the Congress has never provided the tools needed to get the job done. Those tools include adequate funding for program evaluation, and a structure of federal program funding that permits controlled testing of crime prevention effectiveness. In order for Congress to learn whether DOJ programs ar ....
