The Seat Belt Law
Words: 2526 / Pages: 10 .... more likely to buckle up their kids. Of course, I had to wear my seat belt and sit in the back seat. I did not always do what my parents asked, but I did tend to wear my seatbelt all the time. It became habit to jump in the car and buckle up. Without a seatbelt, I feel as though I am missing something and I feel completely naked without it.
In the past fifteen years, I have, unfortunately, been a passenger in approximately ten car accidents. A few of these were significant enough to cause minor injuries. But in two specific cases, the police officer reminded the driver and myself of the luck we encountered by wearing seatbelts. I have bee .....

Words: 293 / Pages: 2 .... of medical marijuana has proved successful in other states. And most importantly it would make the lives of ill individuals much more bearable.
The legalization of medical marijuana would create a new job market for some Mainers. People who might not have had a job before can become a registered grower, and not only make money to support their family, but help the ill in the process.

Crime And Gangs In America
Words: 600 / Pages: 3 .... them from their owners and even the clergy who suggested they were genetically inferior. But American slaves were better mannered, more civil, and less inclined to commit a crime than their white owners. They were, on the whole, by most historical accounts, a very civil, obedient and law abiding people. They were better citizens than their educated, well-fed owners. Why? Some may say fear. Fear of Massah? Or maybe, the slave owners? Perhaps to a degree. Fear certainly is a motivator.
I do not think the average American criminal is much afraid of the law or society, today. Society is not their master. So I concede that fear will work, to a .....

Rockefeller Drug Laws
Words: 350 / Pages: 2 .... discriminate between the dealer and the mule or sibling or wife of the dealer. They can all be sentenced to the same amount of time even if they weren’t the one running the show.
The drug penalties are more harsh than other worse crimes. Why should someone in the possession of an ounce of cocaine be given more time in jail than a rapist, or murderer? At least if you commit those crimes you can have the chance to appeal and get out on good behavior. Seriously what can be the good of keeping these laws?
The worst thing about the is that they just don’t work. The enactment of these laws has not stopped the use or the sale of drugs, an n .....

The Caning Punishment Issue
Words: 377 / Pages: 2 .... a
reasonable level to introduce corporeal punishment. Men committing such
crimes would normally be sent to jail. While not being free is bad, these
men really lose nothing but time. The victim should also get the relief of
seeing some damage done for his pains. This would be a little bit of
vengeance for the victim. As a victim this might not set it right but it
would help them feel a little better. This would also make a very big
impression on me. If I knew I could get a very bad lashing for doing
something wrong, I would not do it. With the growing crime rate some
different actions have to be taken. What we are doing now is not working

Hate Crimes And Punishment
Words: 790 / Pages: 3 .... will receive harsher punishment. Despite why the crime took place, the point is that a crime took place. No matter why the victim is chosen, “he or she was still harmed, the family is still going to grieve, and someone must be punished” (Staff editorial 1). Whether a person is killed for money or drugs or out of hate or prejudice, the fact still remains that he or she has been killed. With hate crime laws, the hate is being looked at, more so than the crime itself. Even though hate is a terrible thing to have in your heart, all Americans have the right to hate whatever or who ever they want (Hudson 1). Besides, if officials start punishing hate .....

Drug Abuse
Words: 1024 / Pages: 4 .... goes up
