.... could fly, and jumped to their deaths. The popularity of the rug in the 60's started research and laws making its use illegal. LSD is the chemical term or lysergic acid diethyl amide. National Institute on Drug Abuse surveys indicate illicit use of LSD has remained relatively constant. Almost 2 percent of high school seniors are current users and 8.7 percent have taken LSD at least once. Its not creating the problems it created in the 60's because the average street dose is al least 50 percent lower. Washington, D.C. is known as the PCP capital of the United States because there are more illicit PCP lads here than anywhere both water .....

.... that if they still practiced this, instead of taking an Alka Seltzer after you had mom's Chili or Tacos, you might be sitting in the living room on the LAY-Z Boy, smoking a joint or however they would take it. The folk medicine of Africa and Asia have used it as an herbal preparation. A "mythical" and "legendary" pharmacist and emperor Shen Nung thought using it as a seditive was all right. In 2,700 B.C. that same "mythical" emperor said it helped female weakness, gout, rheumatism, malaria, beri-beri (?), contipation, and absentmindedness. In 1979 (A.D.) Carlton E. Turner visited China and found marijuana was not in use in formal .....

.... new capital punishment laws were made to satisfy the Supreme Court's requirements. These laws limit the death penalty to murder and to other specified crimes that result in a person's death. These crimes include armed robbery, hijacking, and kidnapping. Many countries, including most European and Latin-American nations, have abolished the death penalty since 1900 - including Canada, which did so in 1976. In the early 1990's, the United States was the only Western industrialized nation where executions still took place. History Capital punishment was common among all ancient civilizations. It was used for a variety of offenses .....

.... survey data, have been employed to help create checklist scales to valuate potential jurors for prejudicial tendencies during voir dire (Abbott, 1987). Another purpose of quantitative techniques, which is used less often, is to focus strategic themes and arguments for trial. Nonetheless, quantitative designs have been strongly criticized (Saks, 1976), in large part because they tend to fall short when used as the principle methodology to anticipate the essentially dynamic character of a trial. The tactical environment of an ongoing trial is fluid. Quantitative methodologies appear to lack the requisite flexibility to grasp the changed meani .....

.... punishment is immoral and unethical. It does not matter who does the killing because when a life is taken by another it is always wrong. By killing a human being the state lessens the value of life and actually contributes to the growing sentiment in today's society that certain individuals are worth more than others. When the value of life is lessened under certain circumstances such as the life of a murderer, what is stopping others from creating their own circumstances for the value of one's life such as race, class, religion, and economics. Immanual Kant, a great philosopher of ethics, came up with the Categorical Imperative, which .....

.... on every person wishing to purchase a gun. This 5-4 decision would be easy to overturn in the court decides to revisit it later. This case was brought up by sheriffs in Montana and Arizona who said that running background checks would take valuable time away from other law-enforcement duties. This is a valid argument in less densely populated areas of the country where doing checks would bring manpower to a below minimum level. This argument is not valid for large cities, however, because it is needed more there than anywhere else in the country. In large cities there are many more police officers and they can afford to put a few .....

.... to the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. Nevertheless, legalizing and regulating prostitution will provide greater benefits for society. Supporters of banning prostitution insist first and foremost that selling a person’s body is immoral. Yet in one way or another, all people who work "sell" one or more parts of their body in order to complete their jobs. Athletes, bus drivers, and construction workers all "sell" their bodies to perform physical work. These people would find themselves out of work were it not for their freedom to "sell" their bodies. Norma Jean Almodovar, a former police officer turned prost .....

.... has been linked statistically to the use of other illicit drugs....Most observers have concluded that the link is sociological rather than biological and...marijuana is a marker for individuals who are more prone to seek new experiences even when these violate social norms and local laws." Andrews related that "sensational newspaper stories relating...to crime is generally held to be accountable for the sudden enactment of a law prohibiting its use." He went on to note that "users were often subject to heavy penalties- -up to life imprisonment in Texas." "After caffeine, nicotine and alcohol, marijuana is the fourth most popular abus .....

.... Prohibition was repealed after just thirteen years while the prohibition against marijuana lasted for more than seventy five years. This double standard may have resulted from the wishes of those in power. Alcohol prohibition struck directly at tens of millions of Americans of all ages, including many of societies most powerful members. Marijuana prohibition threatened far fewer Americans, and they had relatively little influence in the districts of power. Only the prohibition of marijuana, which some sixty million Americans have violated since 1965 has come close to approximating the prohibition experience, but marijuana smokers consi .....

.... with the complete support of both the English and the Irish parliaments. The Penal Laws were developed slowly over a span of one hundred and three years as several desperate attempts to abolish the Catholics from Ireland. The first penal law was implemented into the Irish community on December 24, 1691 when William and Mary made an Anti Catholic declaration for the oath of supremacy. The oath banned all Catholics from becoming members of the parliament or any other position of power. Catholics could not practice law, run for office, purchase land or own land, vote, enter any profession, hold arms, guard a child or educated his/he .....
