November 3, 2000 Dear Ms Latourell, When you vote
I think you should vote for George Bush. George
Bush doesn't have as much experience as Gore, but
He is highly educated and does still have a lot of
political experience. George Bush's plans on
certain subjects such as social security and
Medicare, gun control and education are better
that Gores and are more realistic. George Bush was
born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, CT. His
religion is Methodist....

everyone else the day started out like any other.

overly concerned about the other, or about how the

Law Abiding Citizens Drunk Drivers
707 words
GUN CONTROL A law to outlaw all guns would be more
effective at disarming law-abiding citizens than
at disarming the criminals who abuse them. If guns
were outlawed, the outlaws would not stop carrying
guns, but the good, law-abiding people would. It
would do nothing about the illegally obtained
handguns in the possession of criminals and
terrorist. Criminals and terrorists ignore bans.
The only two things passing a law of this nature
would accomplish would be to take away the honest
citizens ab...

considered as such. They should not be feared, but
respected. A bullet from an unsecured gun can
destroy the life of any one. Careless thoughts or
reckless actions by anyone must be avoided at all
times when a gun is present. Gun Safety Education
is a big item for discussion. A safe plan of
action should be taught to everyone. It should
correspond with a persons age. This safe plan of
action hopefully will be learned and practiced
before a person c...
