... becomes a fragile balance. Our generation (see Gen X, 20-somethings) could be considered the sleepless generation. An age of society's children weaned on the ideals of high-speed communication and accelerated culture has prided itself in mastering many of the facets of human existence -- doing more, sleeping less. The machines of this age have in a way enabled us to create a 24-hour lifestyle. We have pushed the limits of the modern world further -- ATMs, high-speed modems, smart bombs and bullet trains. However, the limitations of human existence, like sleep, may still provide the stumbling block for infinite r ...

... in his "Speech to the General Court" in 1645. Winthrop's two main problems were where do the rights of people stop and the magistrates' authority begin. According to Winthrop, people are naturally evil, and if left to their own devices, they will become even worse. Therefore, authority is a necessity. This same principle holds true for gun control. People here in the U.S. have the "right to bare arms," but with that right comes responsibility. As an American with that right you're not free to shoot anyone or anything at will. Government should create laws to protect the rights of others. I believe stricter g ...

... a controversial issue through many decades. Some people believe that justice can not be served until the issue is resolved and all peoples agree that it is the best way to end crime completely. Others believe that it is totally barbaric and morally wrong. Many people who are against capital punishment are only thinking of the criminal and how cruel it is for them. But, shouldn’t we think of the families that are broken apart now because of the merciless acts of these criminals. Think of Susan Smith, how she knowingly drove her car off into a lake with her two children strapped to the seats. Think of how they must ...

... ranging from blasphemy and treason to petty theft and murder. Many ancient societies accepted the idea that certain crimes deserved . Ancient Roman and Mosaic law endorsed the notion of retaliation; they believed in the rule of "an eye for an eye." Similarly, the ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, and Greeks all executed citizens for a variety of crimes. The most famous people to be executed are Socrates and Jesus. Only in England, during the reigns of King Canute (1016-1035) and William the Conqueror (1066-1087) was the death penalty not used, although the results of interrogation and torture were often fatal (K ...

... fairly simple (with the correct tools) to create a bogus ID number for your mobile phone, and pretend to be a roamer from some other city and state, that's "just visiting". When your BOC tries to collect for the calls from your alleged "home BOC", they will discover you are not a real customer; but by then, you can create an entirely new electronic identity, and use that instead. How does the cellular system know who is calling, and where they are? When a mobile phone enters a cell's area of transmission, it transmits its phone number and its 8 digit ID number to that cell, who will keep track of it until it g ...

... that he should be awarded compensatory and punitive damages. The Court of Appeals agreed by rejecting Hustler Magazine, Inc.'s argument that the “actual malice� standard of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan had to be met before Falwell could sue for emotional distress. However, because the jury decided that the ad didn't describe actual events, it was considered an opinion protected by the First Amendment. The court ruled that the issue was whether or not that opinion was outrageous enough to be considered an intentional infliction of emotional distress and awarded Falwell money. This case then went to the U.S ...

... irritating to me was when OJ Simpson was being sued for the wrongful death of his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman. If he was acquitted for the murders of these individuals, how could he be held liable for their deaths civilly? Whether or not he did do the crime the fact remains in the eyes of the law he was found innocent and therefore should not be able to be held accountable for their wrongful deaths. What was amazing about the case is the amount of money that was awarded to the families when they stated it wasn’t about the money. If it wasn’t about the money then why did they bother with the suit in the ...

... who have proof that marijuana is much safer than reported in the past. It’s time for the American government to realize that there are millions and millions of marijuana growers and consumers nationwide. There are so many reasons for legalization other than just the medical capabilities, which have not yet been fully explored because of bans. The illegal running of marijuana would be halted instantly. All of the dealers would be put out of business. Most of the dealers have double income because their profit is created by trafficking marijuana plus most of the dealers receive a welfare check. The welfare ...

... of this act claiming that Congress has no right to pass a law that legislates for the common welfare. However, Congress has a clear Constitutional right to regulate interstate commerce. This act is based solely on interstate commerce and is thereforeConstitutional. Because of abuse, Sara Benenson was afraid to get a job because it would anger her husband. She was afraid to go back to school and she was afraid to go shopping or spend any money on her own. All three of these things clearly in ...
