- 2691: Thomas Hobbes: What Is The Difference Between Obligations In foro interno and In foro externo, and When Do We Have Such Obligations?
- ... interno and In foro externo, and When Do We Have Such Obligations? According to Thomas Hobbes, there are certain laws of nature which exist in the absence of an organized government. These laws are extremely cut throat, and place people in extremely dangerous situations where their lives are in danger. Government is the answer to this dangerous situation, but it is here that the question of obligation comes into question. Does one have an obligation to take a chance and follow ... want it. To make sure this breaking of the covenant does not happen, governments set up institutions such as the police to make sure everyone follows the rules of the government.

Robert Bach, the top policy and planning official for the immigration agency states, "It is a wonderful progress in an area where, frankly, most of us never believed that government intervention like this would work", "This is historic.

- 2694: Acid Rain
- ... ACID RAIN CONSISTS OF....? Canada does not have as many people, power plants or automobiles as the United States, and yet acid rain there has become so severe that Canadian government officials called it the most pressing environmental issue facing the nation. But it is important to bear in mind that acid rain is only one segment, of the widespread pollution ... figures particularly distributing is that nitrogen oxide emissions have tripled in the last thirty years. FINAL THOUGHTS Acid rain is very real and a very threatening problem. Action by one government is not enough. In order for things to be done we need to find a way to work together on this for at least a reduction in the contaminates contributing to acid rain. Although there are right steps in the right directions but the government should be cracking down on factories not using the best filtering systems when incinerating or if the factory is giving off any other dangerous fumes. I would like to ...
- 2695: Chemical and Biological Weapons
- ... most dangerous threats that our soldiers face today. But just how much do most of us know about them? The American public had been bombarded by stories of how our government keeps secret weapons, does secret experiments, and the everlasting conspiracies. And many accept it all. Rather than simply trusting our government, (which is perhaps as foolish as believing several unsubstansiated theroies), I’ve compiled several simple facts regarding recent and historic developments in chemical and biological warfare. Chemical weapons are defined ... hide in the dense plant growth. Chemical and biological weapons have been the subject of international debate for over 70 years, and I believe for good reason. Of course, the government should, and does, participate in the conventions and foreign event that have relation to these weapons. As citizens, we should be concerned because chemical weapons are so easily accessible ...
- 2696: Nostradamus and a Grim Future
- ... The roots of technology that will ultimately lead to the Times of Trouble, are foreseen by Nostradamus. The future, if continued on its present path, will be that of secret government cover-ups and the construction of inhumane weapons without the consent or knowledge of a future people (Rodus 4). Nostradamus describes as one of the first major accidents of the ... shoot out into space and cause the fall of meteorites to the earth (Rodus 39). The people will view the falling meteorites as a natural occurrence, but in reality the government will be covering up the entire incident. Nostradamus also claims that history books will falsely have commentaries reporting the disasters of "nature." Somewhere in the near future scientists will research ... the scientists are once again dealing with powers they cannot possibly control. The vortexes of energy were not fine-tuned enough, and so the project got out of control. The government again covers up the accident, and news of it never leaks (Rodus 43). Nostradamus predicts the manufacturing of several mind-shocking weapons that will be unleashed in the coming ...

- 2700: Legalization of Marijuana
- ... on hard drugs and violent crimes” (Peron 6E). The courts would be relieved of hearing all marijuana-related cases, as well. Another important gain would be in the quality of government. The sorts of temptations and opportunities that lead to corruption would be significantly minimized. According Christopher Brown, author of “Bring Drugs Within the Law”, the illogical pattern of law enforcement ... now treats marijuana as more dangerous than alcohol or tobacco, would end. “It would set more achievable goals for law enforcement, and this would lend strength and credibility to our government” (Christie, 54).
