.... of hallucinations. Some people thought they could fly, and jumped to their deaths. The popularity of the rug in the 60's started research and laws making its use illegal. LSD is the chemical term or lysergic acid diethyl amide. National Institute on Drug Abuse surveys indicate illicit use of LSD has remained relatively constant. Almost 2 percent of high school seniors are current users and 8.7 percent have taken LSD at least once. Its not creating the problems it created in the 60's because the average street dose is al least 50 percent lower. Washington, D.C. is known as the PCP capital of the United States because there are more illicit .....

.... their younger and let them get what happened out and known that their not the one that did something wrong. When you let them get all their emotions out the chances of them having depression or any other disorder in the future, is much less then a person who doesn’t talk to anybody about it. One type of is the shaking child syndrome. This is when you shake the baby forcefully usually by the shoulders causing the blood vessels that bridge the brain and skull to tear. This could lead to seizures, lethargy, vomiting and irritability and eye injuries, extreme cases could lead to coma or even death. You don’t have to be a bad mother to do this to .....

.... exhibition. LAW: Defining censorship When it rules on an ''indecent art'' case, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether not subsidizing an activity is censorship. The National Endowment for the Arts has been giving tax money to artists since the Johnson presidency. Some of its decisions have been controversial. For example, it subsidized an exhibit of menstrual blood, clothing made of condoms, and a depiction of Jesus Christ as a drug addict and sex object. In 1990, after the NEA helped fund Robert Mapplethorpe's ''homoerotic'' photos and Andrew Serrano's crucifix in a jar of urine, Congress took action. It passed a bill requiring the NEA to cons .....

.... Up until this time people could be arrested on felony charges and faced possible prison terms for marijuana possession. After the law changed possession of an ounce or less of marijuana became minor and was punished by a maximum fine of $100.00. Opposing sides argued that reduced penalties would result in greater public acceptance of marijuana. That would mean that there would be an increase in the amount of people who would be caught and punished for possessing marijuana. ( Sommer, 67 ). The annual survey of freshman, which has been sponsored by American Counsel on Education since 1966, includes an item relating to the legislation of marijuana .....

.... material on the Internet. Pornographic material is not the only material to be found on the net which can raise questions of censorship and control: discussion of racial, political, religious and sexual topics all run the risk of offending someone, somewhere, leading to demands for control of the Internet. The question of censorship may also be raised in some unexpected places: one newsgroup is the rec.humor list, which is a collection of jokes submitted to subscribers. There are straightforwardly rude jokes but others are politically incorrect, focusing on sexual stereotypes, mothers-in-law, women and so on. It has been suggested (Interperso .....

.... 1500 in England only major felonies carried the death penalty. Reform of the death penalty began in Europe by the 1750's. By the 1850's these reform efforts bore fruit. Michigan first abolished the death penalty in 1847. Various public opinion polls report that more than 70% of Americans favor the death penalty for murder. By 1991, some 2,350 persons were under the death sentence in 36 states. The death penalty should be moral because, " a life for a life." Is the death penalty immoral? Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole is a realistic alternative for the small number of offenders who are likely to be executed in any given .....

.... in the all Britain games and at just 22 years of age, hopes were high for his future. However just 6 years later, he found himself totally isolated from the sport and unable to continue. Why you may say? Was it a great injury sustained? Was it a financial problem he faced? Did he lose interest in the sport? None of these actually. The only problem John Mcewick faced was a moral one. Unfortunately John Mcewick believed that sport was something that tested the combination of natural ability, training and determination and not the determination to do anything to win, even if it meant abusing their own bodies. What am I talking about, well John Mce .....

.... is no longer any reason to keep it illegal. It should therefore be legal for licensed physicians to prescribe marijuana for terminal patients for whom it offers the only reasonable opportunity for living without unbearable pain. Marijuana has been used many times to help ease pain and suffering. It often eases nausea in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, reduces the pain of AIDS patients and lowers eye pressure in glaucoma sufferers. Cancer and AIDS patients often lose a lot of weight, either due directly to their illness or indirectly to the treatment of the illness. Dramatic weight loss puts their lives in even more danger. Ma .....

.... drugs hurt the athletes as well as the sport. First Brett Favre, who was the Most Valuable Player in the National Football League last season, entered a drug abuse center for his addiction to Vicodin, a very strong painkiller (Plummer 129 ). Favre had problems because of Vicodin. Favre suffered a seizure in February while in surgery to repair a broken bone. The seizure resulted from the abuse of the painkiller (Howard 1). Favre states, “I went to Topeka, because the pills had gotten the best of me� ( qtd. in Plummer 129). Favre's daughter Brittany asked his wife Deanna, “Is he going to die?� (qtd. in Plummer 129). He not only s .....

.... to play at a four-year university because the college and the players are given unwanted attention, all college athletes are stereotyped, and there is no longer an amateur level. Collegiate athletics have gained an exceptional amount of attention because of many incidents involving college athletes accepting gifts from agents and coaches. These incidents happen because agents will do anything for money. They know that if their prospect makes it big, they will get a cut of the earnings. Marcus Camby is one of the many athletes to accept gifts from agents even though it is a complete violation of NCAA rules. Sports Illustrated staff writer Phil Tay .....
