Government Spending & Budget
... by citizens that a balanced budget will become reality. A recent Gallop Poll from January, 1996 showed the budget as the #1 concern among taxpayers, but 4/5 of those interviewed said they doubt the GOP will do the job (Holding 14). Meanwhile, an ABC poll from November reported that over 70% of those polled disapprove of the current performance by Congress, and most blamed politicians for failure to take action (Cloud 3709). These accusations of failure to follow through come with historical proof that Congress and Clinton have failed to compromise and resolve the issue. After all, current budget plans are dependent on somewhat unrealistic predictions of a ...

America's youth today is disenchanted with the political system. Two-thirds of young Americans don't vote, primarily because they don't feel candidates are addressing issues important to them (Cox, Finklestein).

Woodrow Wilson And The Presidency
... the people favored Wilson's New Freedom.
Wilson entered office with a more clear cut plan of what he wanted to
achieve than any other president before him. The new president called for an
all out assault on what Wilson called "the triple wall of privilege": the tariff,
the banks, and the trusts. In early 1913, Wilson attempted to lower the tariff.
Wilson shattered the precedent set by Jeffer-son to send a messenger to address
Congress when Wilson himself formally addressed Congress. This had a huge
effect on Congress to pass the proposed Underwood Tariff Bill, which provided a
substantial reduction of rates. The new Underwood Tariff substan-tially reduced

... that were already settled on his new
land would serve his civilized people well as slaves. Even Columbus was discriminatory
against people who were of a different race and way of life. Columbus has been blamed
for "introducing slavery to the new world". But at the time, Columbus was commended for
having done so. The racism did not end there. Discrimination was everywhere, but no
person had the means to address it as a problem, or fight to end it. It wasn't until 1862 that
a political figure formally acknowledged the problem.
The Emancipation Proclamation was addressed by president Abraham Lincoln in
1862. It was enforced in t ...

The Library Of Congress
... more or less 6,500 volumes formed the heart of the library, and grew speedily in the nineteenth century. The new copyright law of 1870 demanded that two copies of every single book copyrighted had to be given to the library in order to receive protection. The flood of material that resulted forced the construction of a new building that opened in 1897.
A new age for the library was guided by the opening of the Jefferson building and The Main Reading room. Special format collections were separated from the book collections and the readers could access them in different locations of the library. Some of these format collections were maps, prints, music, an ...

Many students' express who they are through the way they dress. If a teenager wants to show the rest of the world that he loves Jesus, then he or she might wear a T-shirt that states a positive view on the subject. Similarly, a student might want to wear green colored clothing to show his or her support for St. Patrick's day. would end both of those examples listed within this paragraph and many, many more.

Communism Is A Better Form Of Economic Organization Than Capitalism
... system people are never unemployed
because the government owns the means of production. Meaning the
governments owns all the factories and stores because their is no private
owner ship in a Communist system. This is good because the government can
control and decide what is needed for the good of society and produce it.
Another reason why Communism is good is because everyone in the country is
provided with a job, house and food; no one is denied the essentials of
life.
One of the most fundamental human rights is access to adequate health
care. In Communist countries the right of access to health care is very

subject. I felt that it should mean something but that there was too much
emphazes being placed on serious committment.
On the subject of contraception anf family planning we had no
disagreements. We felt that before having children we must first be able
to establish ourselves financially. So once our respective careers were
settled upon we could then plan when we would have children. However,

The discussion we had on which topics which couples should agree upon
was filled with lots of disagreements. We agreed that couples s ...

this, twenty armed officers with guns drawn came to the Planck's residence and
commanded Mr. and Mrs. Planck to give up their children. Mr. Planck told the
officers that he did not know why they were there, was pushed to the ground and
had loaded rifles pointed at him. The children were then forcibly removed from
their parents custody, and at no time was any identification shown by the
officers. Curt, Lance Planck's younger brother, resisted this removal from his
house, and was threatened by an officer that he would be "dragged out of here."
After this scene, Emily, Stephen, and Curtis Planck were loaded into a v ...
