Politicking Goes High-Tech
... within hours. After getting the results from the polls,
it is then time to determine what action needs to be taken to aid your campaign
(or more often hurt your opponent). The candidate then needs to create new
television ads to make himself or herself appeal to the interests of the people
or sometimes to counteract the bad things the opponent has to say. This fight
between the television ads is often referred to as Spot Wars.
While the Spot Wars help out the candidates (or harm the opponents with
derogatory remarks), they can cost an enormous amount of money; and after being
played on television the opponent will return the attack with one of his or her
ads—th ...

Olmstead V. United States (1928)
... of the company (said to be
over 2 million/year), and the other 50 percent went to 11 other investors.
In the main office building there were three different telephones with
separate lines for each. Telephone communication was made throughout the city,
the homes of the investors, customers, Vancouver, to and from the office
building and ranch. Times were fixed for the delivery of the "stuff" to places
along the Puget Sound and from there was transported to the various caches.
The information leading to the arrests was made primarily by four
Federal prohibition officers. The officers placed small wires along the main
lines outside the homes of the four main consp ...

Fascism As Opposed To Communism
... Communist Manifesto
by Karl Marx, a call to the proletariate to unite and rebel against their
selfish employers. It is my belief that Lenin had entirely good reasons for
doing as he did, and felt he was helping the world as apposed to Adolf
Hitler. Immediately after Lenin's death, a man very much the same in nature
as Hitler, Stalin, came to control the Bolsheviks and throw Russia in a
civil war in a quest for power. You now have two men of equal aspirations
soon to be in control of two very similar governments.
In any rise of power, there needs to be a period of careful
planning requiring much thought. These two men had very little history with
which to ...

Censorship In Radio
... tells of when Geraldo said (Stern Miss America. 526-530.) in a show about the Mennendez brothers being molested for doing something wrong. “Hell, I’m not for child molestation, but if I knew anal sex . . . punishment, I’d keep my room clean.” Geraldo goes untouched. but Howard got fined for saying “lesbian’s filled with lust.” (Howard Stern. Miss America.519). That seems a bit more tame to me but since Stern is tagged he gets fined. The First Amendment states. “congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech.” This rule, over the years has changed to “congress shall make . . .” as interpreted by the FCC (king of all. 165) this makes no sense the ...

Locke: Is This True Justice?
... inequality or not granting freedom to its citizens have
been known to have problems. Countries with dictatorships or communist
governments are becoming obsolete because people are finally speaking against
their one sided beliefs. The Ceaucescu Revolution was a good example of a
dictatorship brought down by its people. The people were driven beyond the limit
and over powered their bad governmental leaders for both their own good and
their nations well being. Another instance where this was displayed was when the
Berlin Wall was torn down by the people of Germany. They tore down the barrier
that was made by their leaders that had kept them from their families for ov ...

Reproductive Medicine
... the increase in ethical disputes. For many couples desperate to have children, fertility procedures are a momentous opportunity, which come with a high price. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, “in 1994, the fertility industry cost the US Health-care system between $60,000 and $110,000 for each successful pregnancy.” Not only are these operations expensive, but also tantalizing and to some immoral. “We often get ahead of ourselves in technologically…And the ethics; we’re still wrestling with those kinds of questions” (Silverman). In-vitro fertilization, artificial insemination, and fertility drugs are all available prospects for the infertile couple, ...

Inside The IRA
... through political and physical violence against the British through bombings, guerilla warfare, and other violent methods to get the point across.
There has always been a tradition of armed resistance to the British military and political occupation in Ireland. This tradition generally only found effective expression when after a period of non-armed agitation, large sections of the Irish people, faced with the British governments denial of the legitimate demand for the Irish independence, exercised the right to use armed struggle…..
Armed struggle and uprisings against British rule took place in 1798, 1803, 1848, and 1867, but because of the Great Hunger, ...

Court Case Number 15: Bowers V. Hardwick (June 30, 1986)
... more that the imposition of the Justices' own
choice of values on the States and the Federal Government, the Court sought to
identify the nature of rights for heightened judicial protection. Such landmark
court decisions as Palko v. Connecticut stated this category includes those
fundamental liberties that are “implicit in the concept of ordered liberty,”
such that “neither liberty nor justice would exist if any fundamental liberties
were sacrificed.” In Moore v. East Cleveland, fundamental liberties are
characterized as those liberties that are “deeply rooted in this Nation's
history and tradition.”

Comparison Of Paine's Common Sense And The Declaration Of Independence
... Americans about this subject. In his introduction, he says he feels that there is “a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong” which “gives it a superficial appearance of being right” (693). He is alluding to the relationship, also calling it a “violent abuse of power” (693). This choice of words is similar to those of Jefferson, who asserts that the king had established an “absolute tyranny” over the states. Both men set an immediate understanding about their feelings towards the rule of Great Britain over the States. However, where Common Sense seems to be an opinionated essay, Thomas Jefferson writes somewhat of a call to battle. Paine generally seems t ...

The Press And Media Cause Rampant Swaying Of The Election Votes Through Their Opinions And Reports
... the office of president in the year 1797. He was a
close admirer of Washington and was sometimes said to be Washington's shadow
(Presidency of John Adams, Ralph Adams Brown 1975). He and the Federalists
believed that nothing the Anti-federalists and their supporting press could say
would be enough to shake their control. Yet it was Adams who, in spite of his
undoubted intelligence, made a mistake of such proportions that it brought about
his own downfall and the party's (Press and the Presidency, John Tebbel 1985).
This mistake would be the Sedition Act, which tested the first amendment and the
freedoms of the press. This obviously did not please the press an ...
