Number of Words: 906 / Number of Pages: 4
... be
given a harsher punishment than life in prison. In terms of justice, we should
all get what we deserve.
One argument against the death penalty is that the bible tells us not to
murder. If this includes all people it should include the government. However,
the death penalty is not quite the same as murder. It is an exacting of justice.
Consequently, the Bible also says, Ran eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.S
It could also say a life for a life as well. The government also has rights
that we as citizens do not have. As Mayor Ed Koch says in his essay on the
death penalty, Rthe e ...

... void their own right to membership. Those who
violate the personhood of others, especially if this is done persistently as a
habit must pay the ultimate price. This must be done for the sake of the
community which was violated. We can debate whether some non-lethal alternative
is a suitable substitute for the death penalty. But the standard of judgment is

... various controls, the system does not
effectively eliminate racial bias.
Since Gregg v. Georgia the total population of all 36 death rows has
grown as has the number of judicial controls used by each state. Of the 3,122
people on death row 41% are black while 48% are white (Gest, 1996, 41). This
figure may be acceptable at first glance but one must take into account the fact
that only 12% of the U.S. population is black (Smolowe, 1991, 68). Carolyn
Snurkowski of the Florida attorney generals office believes that the
disproportionate number of blacks on death row can be explained by the fact ...

... 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 consist mostly of young and
relatively powerless Americans (American Heritage, pg 47). Alcohol prohibition
was repealed and marijuana prohibition was retained, not because scientists had
proved that alcohol was the ...

... New Amsterdam and the
United States is great due to a different structured economy and different
cultures. This differences would prove to be the reason for their success and
the United States failure.
Legalization would also be very dangerous to the economy. The United
States economy is a rather shaky one. The introduction of such a huge industry
would be enough to crash our country into a depression. The market for
marijuana would be very extensive. Between the marketing of marijuana and
profit from taxes would generate would be too much for the United States to
endure in. The fact that mari ...

humanism." In other words, society has long since left behind the archaic and
barbous" customs" from the cruel "eye for an eye" anti-human caves of religion-
another factor that should raise immediate misgivings for freethinkers.
State killings are morally bankrupt. Why do governments kill people to

I stopped talking to a friend because he was so addicted to this
horrible drug called Speed. One thing I noticed is he was a totally different

bit of being around him. Every little thing you did when he ...

resources in regards to software distribution and licensing.
Information can qualify to be property in two ways; patent law
and copyright laws which are creations of federal statutes, pursuant to
Constitutional grant of legislative authority. In order for the government
to prosecute the unauthorized copying of computerized information as theft,
it must first rely on other theories of information-as-property. Trade
secret laws are created by state law, and most jurisdictions have laws
that criminalize the violations of a trade-secret holder's rights in the
