When you compare the goings on in Arizona, to Corrections Canada, you also have to remember that you could be comparing apples to oranges.  I'm sure someone like Muskrat89 can correct me if I'm wrong but County gaol's in the US generally incarcerate those people convicted of petty crimes...

The superiority of the "melting pot" versus the "cultural mosiac" is oft held as one of the unyeilding constants of Canadian social studies.  Almost every Canadian student has at some time had to sit through a junior high school social studies class and hear the teacher wax poetic about the...

The fundemental role of judges in society is to administer justice.  Justice by its nature concerns itself with the question of what is right?  The election of judges, would first require potential judges to frame their ideas within the scope of what is popular, allowing questions on the nature...

So what your saying is that all complex systems (companies, countries, cars), have RANDOM (caps for emphasis) changes made to their make up which then determine that complex systems viablility.  If the changes aren't random the same rules don't apply, an organism cannot decide to add an...

True, however,there is an explicit difference between evolution in terms of change, and Evolution as a distinct scientific theory.  Those who attempt to place the former in the trappings of the latter, through the coining of phrases such as "survival of the fittest", and "Social Darwinism", are...

a_majoor, You argue that if a contract no longer serves it's purpose, it should be terminated, however you fail to define whose purposes.  My understanding of a contract is that it may not be terminated without the consent of both parties, should aboriginal peoples decide (and it is for them to...

I read the report and it isn't useful at all.  Both the sides of the firearms control debate both display zelotry.  Statistics are completely useless without reference to the methodology used in the analysis, and I for one question any statistic that comes from Brietkreuz-Mauser as much as I...

As do I, see my first post in this threat above. 

As you already have a college diploma, I would contact the university you want to attend and see what can transfer over, no sense paying for credits you don't need. 2-3 courses you may want to start with are a first year english course (usually English composition, some universities require...

Costs can be quantified in more than monetary costs, there are human costs to allowing the invisible hand to work its way.  If trickle-down economics have functioned as they would have you believe, than why is the poverty rate per 100,000 in the US has roughly steady for the past 20 years...

Are those numbers inclusive or exclusive of personal debt?  US News and World Report states that consumer debt, composes 113% of disposable income.  So is that 51 million dollars, as a result of increased economic power due to low taxation or readily available consumer credit?

Funny, I don't recall saying the system was perfect.  If you've got a suggestion to fix the system, by all means make it. If that commitee is elected then we don't call it elitism, we call it representative democracy. We've had our fair share of politicians who started out on the bottom rung...
