H 2 >Why should we team up against drugs?
The answer to that question is very simple. Drugs

life. The only sure thing that drugs can do for
you is either is put you in jail or kill you. And
I can think of many things on how it can ruin your
whole life. And music promotes a lot of this, even
in the sixties when it was illegal to write songs
about drugs. What if you were on the verge of
going to a professional sport such as the NFL. It
is your ...

Abortions Performed Each Year Performed Each Year Abortion

Do you consider something with a beating heart a
living creature? A baby heart forms and starts
beating in the fifth week of pregnancy; therefore,
that would make abortion murder. The baby that is
growing inside of the woman is depending on her,
so when she makes the choice to end that baby's
life, they are making the choice to murder another
person. Someone that believes in the pro-choice
theory would say that the decision is up to the
woman, but the person with the pro-life theory
would say th...

true love? There is no denying the fact Romeo and
Juliet is a great play and an exceptional
Shakespearean work, but upon closer inspection, is
it a story of true love? Many hints and clues may
lead one to the belief that the love exhibited in
this play is truly due to no more than lust or
some other reason. The first and most obvious
reason for why Romeo and Juliet fall in love is
