The reality of the Declaration of Independence was that all free, white, landowning men are created equal. Slavery continued in the U.S. for nearly ninety years after the Declaration, and black Americans still feel the sting of inequality. Women were also left out of "…all men are created equal…." The implied meaning of the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence is what the U.S. legal system has strived for and failed to grasp fully.

.... to school. We should be helping drug offenders solve their problems instead of causing the student more trouble. The statement this law makes is unreal. If you go by this law, convicted murderers, rapist and even drunk drivers could receive aid for college. No other criminal offenses deny students the right to receive aid for their education. Congress is using this law directed at non-violent drug offenders to show that congress is tough on drugs. This must mean congress supports murderers, rapist and thieves right to receive financial aid. On December 15th, 1998 James Wolf was convicted of possession of less than one gram of marijuana.
