... Therefore, the people who are not fully informed are making decisions on only the information they know. Many people do not understand what exactly is being changed in Charter 85. The existing lat states that in order to purchase a firearm, the buyer must possess a FAC (Firearm Acquisition Certificate). The buyer also must go through a home schooling course and pass a test. If anybody owns a firearm, it has to be stored properly, by means of a cabinet or trigger lock.

... the same as his saying that he has used drugs at some point in the past. The president is the figure who will represent our entire country to the other nations of the world in diplomatic relations and in international news coverage. This is not a responsibility that should be taken lightly, after all, only forty-two men have had a chance to do it. Negative publicity created by something such as Bush’s drug use will be broadcast to other countries. This should concern you, the reader, because the president’s image is all some foreigners know of our country. For instance, consider the disgrace brought upon the United States by the President Clinton/Monica Lewins ...

... be over 150 million and outnumber all of ours cars, trucks, and busses by more than 25 million (Dolan 7). A large percentage of these firearms are held by half of the nation’s families that for the most part use them for the lawful protection of their homes and will most likely never be used (Dolan 7). “And the millions more are kept by responsible sportsmen for hunting, trapshooting, and target shooting,” this was a reply from Dolan to an English visitor to America, who was astonished by the figures of firearms (7). “I’d say that the United States is an armed camp,” said the English visitor (Dolan 7). In despondence to Dolan’s defending the millions of guns owned ...

... this problem is to create all restaurants as non-smoking. A second idea is to require all restaurants to install air purifier/cleaners. Non- smoking restaurants, enclosed smoking sections and required air purifier/cleaners offer different ways to eliminate dining in a smokey restaurant. Creating restaurants as non-smoking would avoid the problem of nicotine odors ruining many meals. The Onion, located in downtown Spokane, requires that all smoking be done in the bar area. The bar is separated from the main restaurant by a gate. I ate lunch at this restaurant, and while I was there smoke from the bar drifted to my table and spoiled my lunch. The non- smoking pol ...

... involvement in politics. Often times, when a Presidential candidate is considered "weak" in an area (foreign policy, education, the environment, etc.) He nominates a running mate who is strong n the same issue. While most people believe that this will help make for a stronger Presidency, it really accomplishes very little. The presidential candidate's views haven't changed. All that is changed is how the people perceive the candidate's views. However, if a candidate must run alone, there will be a much clearer idea of where exactly each candidate stands on various issues. Secondly, by choosing the Vice President through this method, there will be a dissemin ...

... operates through its own agencies and acts directly on the people through its own officials and laws. The Constitution sets out the basic design of the American federal system. The document provides for a division of powers between the National Government and the States. That division of powers was implied in the original Constitution and then in the Tenth Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Therefore, federalism produces a dual system of government. It provides for two basic levels of government, each with its own authori ...

... slavery was rooted in natural law. The Bible was quoted to show that slavery was divinely ordained and approved. When women sought the right to vote, the best interests of society were said to be in jeopardy. It was confidently argued that political participation by women would mean "pretty girls button-holing strange men on Election Day in behalf of the `handsome candidate'" and women locked in jury rooms with males, subjected to tales of shocking behavior. To the threat of social disintegration was added the authoritative pronouncement that the involvement of women in politics was prohibited by natural and divine law. Nature and Scripture were called upo ...

... the seventh century until 1945, when it was divided by the United States and the Soviet Union at the end of World War II. The ensuing cold war created two very distinct governments one in the north, which went on to be known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), and one in the south, which will later be known as the Republic of Korea(ROK). I will be concentrating on the latter. At one point in time South Korea(which is now referred to as the Republic of Korea) and North Korea(which has become known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) lived peacefully together in a place called Korea. The first showings of a nation being formed there was ...

... unemployed. In 1883, Otto Von Bismarck, the German Chancellor, setup the first form of Modern Welfare when he enacted a sickness and maternity law. He followed up this law with a work injury law and an old-age assistance law in 1884 and 1889 respectively. Today European countries such as Germany, Norway, and Sweden have highly sophisticated Welfare systems (Bender, 13). Welfare did not reach the United States, however, until shortly after the Great Depression with Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal." The New Deal brought on new economic and social welfare legislation. This is the first time that the United States Government used federal and public funds to finance ...
