Methamphetamine: Built For Speed?
... An age of society's children weaned on the ideals of high-speed
communication and accelerated culture has prided itself in mastering many of the
facets of human existence -- doing more, sleeping less. The machines of this age
have in a way enabled us to create a 24-hour lifestyle. We have pushed the
limits of the modern world further -- ATMs, high-speed modems, smart bombs and
bullet trains. However, the limitations of human existence, like sleep, may
still provide the stumbling block for infinite realization. That is, without

drinking are legally required to use some form of transportation other than

they are and get a ride with someone else or wait or some public
transportation. With the legalization of driving while drunk the non-

Why Gun Control Is Needed
... was upset about our borders; and, if it wasn't for hunting, many
would have faced starvation! Guns were a necessity! Now, back to the
present . . . children, teenagers, maniacs, criminals, gang-ba ngers, and
those with a history of violence are carrying around guns that can shoot
180 rounds per minute, bullets that can pierce metal, and all at an
extremely high velocity! Gun control is needed to protect us from chaos!
Did our framers intend for these kinds of weapons to be sold to

Investigation Techniques Of A Homicide
... the Simpson case, the officers did not do a very good job at securing
the scene. They had allowed unauthorized officers the go through the scene, thus
causing some contamination to the crime scene. This error had allowed the
defense to attack the creditability of the police department.
CAUSE AND TIME OF DEATH
When the officers first arrived the scene, they saw two people lying in a
