.... gave a speech labeled “The True Goal of Education” on November 2, 1999 in Gorham, New Hampshire. That speech was the foundation of his educational platform. In it, Bush gave a synopsis of his proposals to enhance America’s educational system. He stated “The federal role in education is not to serve the system. It is to serve the children.” (The True Goal of Education, 1), that is precisely what Bush’s optimism demands, an arrangement powerful enough to postulate proven achievement in return for appropriation.

.... slavery. Slavery actually originated as far back as Christopher Columbus and the founding of our country. He thought the native Americans 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 politic .....

By issuing a $3,000 fine for every underage smoker, the government would generate as much as 6 billion dollars a year. In addition to the fines, President Clinton may also propose to put a 25-cent-per-pack increase in the Federal tax on cigarettes. The moral aspect of this problem is that the federal government is receiving billions off of raising taxes on tobacco products and fines for .
