The Death Penalty
Number of Words: 1349 / Number of Pages: 5
... to remember what these people did. I do not feel comfortable with the idea that some person that killed or raped or robbed some innocent person could be released out of jail for “good behavior”. As said in the Bible, “Whomever sheds a man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed” (Genesis 9:6). This has been taken to signify “Let the punishment, fit the crime.” The Risk of Executing the Innocent. I really do feel that this should be taken very serious.

It was socially acceptable to be intentionally blind to what your husband was doing. The same also seemed to take place in the Western world as well, although not at such extreme cases..

... 4th of July.

Gun Control- A Firing Issue
Number of Words: 1334 / Number of Pages: 5
... The forefathers of
our country meant for the people to own and use firearms, and any law or control on that
right would be unconstitutional. Gun control activists essentially believe the Second

evidence that it does otherwise is nonexistent.
Gun control advocates have been lobbying for 7 years for the passage of the Brady

... attitude, the more resistant it will be to change. The different casual connections between attitudes and behavior can be seen clearly in the case of prejudice.
