Government
Do we dare not to trust the government?
There are very good reasons not to trust the government. A great deal of evidence points to the idea that the current administration is essentially owned by big business, and that it is willing to sell out the interests of individuals for the sake of corporations. Just a brief look at recent stories show why one should not trust the government: the increase in gas prices and energy company profits while those companies shell out to the administration, the brutal death of Terri Schiavo under the orders of a judge, the September 11th terrorist attacks which may have been orchestrated for the colonial good of the American empire, the nation's willingness to abandon social security, and the lack of support for victims of rural crime. Of course, there are some reasons why one should trust the government: Welfare programs are available to some people and have been proved to help, and the marriage penalty tax has been largely lifted. One might also argue that it is a very good idea to trust the government, whether or not they deserve it, because if one doesn't it can be almost impossible to get funding for college (which is extremely important nowadays), and one may even face serious punishment or even and gas industry has spent more than $270 million to lobby Congress and the White House and provide cash to federal election campaigns since the 2000 election cycle." (Public Citizen) Possibly because of this, the government has turned a blind eye to the fact that gas prices are soaring because of uncompetitive actions. "In November 2000, crude oil prices were at the same level they are today (more than $36 per barrel), but retail gas prices today ($1.78 per gallon) are 17% higher than they were then ($1.55 per gallon). Most of this difference has been realized in higher profits from the new mega-companies that have merged since 2000." (Public Citizen) Rather than act against mega-companies that have put hundreds of small refineries out of business, Bush has slashed decades of environmental regulations and given drastic tax cuts to the oil companies claiming this will fix the issue.
Terri Schiavo's death likewise shows that the government cannot be trusted. Michael Schiavo has no evidence other than his own testimony that Terri wanted to die, and her entire family wanted her to live. Moreover, Michael had already found a new mate and had children with her, and…

Death Penalty An issue as divisive as the death penalty has many arguments in its favor and many against it. Sorting through these different arguments to find a reasonable conclusion to either support the death penalty or not can be challenging. In terms of favoring the death penalty, there are two main themes, the deterrence theme and the retribution theme (Gill, 2013). Some pros are: Death penalties act as a deterrent for some Death
It has even created a new network of medical clinics that provide easy access to medical treatment at affordable prices at an efficient pace for such routine treatments as strep throat cultures, physicals for jobs or athletics, flu shots, and other procedures that enable people to pay a reasonable rate for timely care, which would not be given to them in a system of national coverage, and which would
Abstract This essay assumes a pro death penalty stance. The arguments in favor of the death penalty include the following. First, the death penalty stems from ancient traditions that define American culture and society. Second, the death penalty encourages respect for the law and possibly prevents some crimes from being committed in the first place through the deterrent effect. Third, the death penalty could save taxpayers a lot of money and
57). If power shifts too much toward the U.S., the consequences could be bad, especially if combined with belligerent U.S. rhetoric. His well-argued point is that North Korea's striving for nuclear capability is a response to the perceived imbalance of power which is threatening to North Korea. It is an attempt to develop a deterrent to possible future U.S. aggression, a bargaining tool rather than an offensive strategy. Presumably,
American Public ServiceThe federal civil service is the largest employer in the United States, with over two million employees. In recent years, there has been growing calls for reform of the civil service so that it more closely resembles the private sector. Proponents of this view argue that the civil service is bloated and inefficient, and that its procedures are outdated. They argue that the civil service should be reformed
