.... States. Other land was set aside for national forests, national parks and other public purposes, leaving the BLM to manage 270 million surface acres and 570 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate. The 270 million surface acres under BLM management comprise one-eighth of America's land surface and amount to 41 percent of the land under Federal ownership.

Most of the lands managed by the BLM are located in 12 Western States, including Alaska, although small parcels are scattered throughout the Eas .....

.... school rules. Parents of one of the students, MaryBeth. The Tinker's disputed the suspension of MaryBeth and her brother, John, and took their case all the way to the Supreme Court. 2. The Tinker's accused the school district of violating MaryBeth's rights as stated in the first and fourteenth amendments.

The punishment that the school district endured was that adverse publicity and a challenge to the authority of a school district, or school to establish rules for student behavior and conduct. 3. The Tinker's accused the school district of violating The .....

.... of drugs and alcohol through programs such as D.A.R.E (drug abuse resistance education) or S.M.A.R.T. (Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time-Specified objectives). D.A.R.E. tries to educate kids about drugs and alcohol while S.M.A.R.T. conducts studies to see how effective these programs really are. There have been several studies done that failed to find any value in the DARE program. About 26 million American school children are taught to resist the lure of drugs and alcohol by the DARE program, a studied showed that most of the students who took the 17 week DARE program ended up using drugs and alcohol at the same rate as children who learned about .....

Biological and chemical arsenals are effective in eliminating a large number of people in a short period of time. It is economical, efficient and swift.

.... Hammurabi said that the rich are good and the poor are bad. Machiavelli believed humans are basically bad and not to be trusted. Governments using inequality or not granting freedom to its citizens have been known to have problems. Countries with dictatorships or communist governments are becoming obsolete because people are finally speaking against their one sided beliefs. The Ceaucescu Revolution was a good example of a dictatorship brought down by its people. The people were driven beyond the limit and over powered their bad governmental leaders for both their own good and their nations well being. Another instance where this was displayed was when the .....

It was only a dream its April 1996 and I'm 18. The article about the Social Security in the paper had me thinking and I must have a bad dream. The Presidential election will be coming up this November ‘96 a .....
