... attempt on then president Gerald Ford, in Manson's name. Even
now if you go to New York City you can find shirts with his picture on them,
glorifying him. Songs have been written praising him.
But together these have not yet touched the scariest thing about
Charles Manson. The thing that you should be most frightened of is that
Charles Manson, and many like him are alive, with chance of parole. Yes
this murderous madman could yet again run rampant in the world. It is for
this reason that the death penalty is necessary.
Capital punishment is the system by which the people who have

staying off drugs. I have also learned that not many kids in Cutler Middle
School don't do drugs.I always thought that ...

Number of Words: 672 / Number of Pages: 3
... Has there ever been an American culture? If a culture does or did exist it is then a mixture of the many subcultures brought to the United States by immigrants.

In how many other countries throughout the world can you go to almost any given city and find Italian, Chinese, Japanese, French, Tex-Mex, Cajun, and Mexican food.

... upon them.
Trudeau, from day one , was always more samurai than shaman. Even in
his pre-leadership days, Trudeau's love of trial by combat was predominant.
Mackenzie King would have never touched the unholy trinity of divorce,
abortion and homosexuality: each one of these issues is a sleeping dog best
left to lie; each could only infuriate conservative Canada from coast to
coast. Since King dared not touch them seriatim he certainly would not
have touched them together-in an omnibus bill.
