Legalization Of Drugs
<view this essay>.... of marijuana.
First of all, the crime rate in the United States would significantly
reduce. The shoot-outs between drug dealers will end. Miller and Benjamin
state that the violence provided by "turf wars" and by drug deals gone awry
would fall to the level that exists in legal industries - zero (174).
The places where most of those shoot-outs occur, the inner city, would
change the most after the legalization of marijuana. A lot of the kids
there idolize drug dealers. They see a person with designer clothes, a
black Mercedes, gold chains, and big smile on their face. That drug dealer
seems like the most successful person in the neighbo .....

teenagers - a fourteen-year-old boy and a sixteen-year-old girl; and a young and
healthy woman who is a doctor. They all have been there for fifteen days and
they must remain there for an additional fifteen days before they can be rescued.
The problem is that although there are five of them in the bunker, there is only
enough food for four people to survive for the remaining fifteen days. Rationing
the food will not be of any use, because all will die with such a plan. The only
way for most of the survivors to live for the next fifteen days is for one to
die. Somehow they have contacted an outside sou .....

Is Capital Punishment Biblical?
<view this essay>.... we cannot treat
people as mere instruments to personal survival, success or fulfillment.2

harming of others. One example of love is found in John 15:17 “This is my
command .....

would be made by the same people who make aspirin so the quality would be
assured, containing no poisons or adulterants. Sterile hypodermic needles
will be readily available at corner drug .....
