While trying to cut off the drug supply at its source seems like a good idea it does not, however, stop the demand (376-377). Every time a shipment is confiscated another one is right behind it ready to be sold to eager users who are already addicted. It doesn’t matter how many large scale seizure of shipments happens because people will continue to find new and inventive ways to smuggle them into the country. I remember seeing a news report of how over 2 million dollars
There are many ways in which prescription fraud can occur. Because of the plethora of ways, pharmacists must be alert and responsible in their actions. Many seem to believe that electronic prescribing has been found to reduce the number of errors and statistics and data reflects that. America cannot be ignorant in this matter. The new electronic system not being implemented is like going through life with a contagious deadly disease, you have the money for the cure, but yet you complain, sulk, and feel sorry for yourself instead of going to get the cure.
The government has decided that addiction to these types of harmless drugs is okay, and then provides us with safe ways to access and ingest them. Could it be that the moment you turn to an illegal drug, you forfeit any chance of safety that the government could offer to you? Illegal drug use surrounds us every day, in fact, substance abuse is not a problem that will go away by banishing users to the streets; such attitudes only exacerbate this ever so common, serious issue. Critics argue that safe injection sites condone a criminal act, whereas, others argue that it’s better to focus on enabling addicts to practice the behavior more safely. While we must appreciate the moral perspectives some attempt to embody, good public policy must be measured by its effectiveness and ability to actually achieve the goals it is designed to respond to.
The Illegal, The Bad, and The Ugly ENC 1101 Professor Robin Rodgers October 26th 2011 Do American citizens ever think about how they pay for stuff that they never actually get to use or see? Do they ever have thoughts about unconsciously paying for someone to stay in our country illegally? Most likely we Americans don't even stop to think about these sorts of things and yet over 113 billion dollars of our citizens hard earned money is paying for illegal immigrants to be in our country. Illegal immigrants are a threat to America's economy in many different aspects. Anyone has a chance of becoming a citizen but not everyone is willing to.
In reference to drugs, that would mean we as US citizens would have a legal right to buy, use, sell, and outright possess a certain amount of an illicit drug without penalty. Being that cocaine is addictive and destructive in large and repeated doses, I am against legalizing cocaine. The increased levels of ruthless behavior, overdoses, drug wars, and overall decline in the neighborhood across the country would be devastating. The inner cities would suffer an even greater decline in despair and hopelessness due to the streets being overly infested with open drug dealing. Although illegal activities occur on a daily basis, I think if cocaine was legal, people would be dying in the streets.
Fixing Illegal Immigration in the United States Illegal immigration has been a problem in the U.S. for many years. Many would argue that illegal immigrants should be removed from our country, or become a legal citizen. Illegal immigrants have also caused lots of problems in the U.S. There are many ways that illegal immigrants can, and should be dealt with in the United States. A good plan to get rid of illegal immigrants in the U.S. will remove illegal immigrants in a very feasible way, and would not cost our country a fortune.
Many of Dr. Roy Spencer’s views I can see as very rational. His references of actual government actions better proves how the United States government tends to want to use money as a “magic pill” that will fix the cancerous economic state the country has been in for years. While I am sure that there are politician who are still concerned with the well being of the average American, Dr Spencer’s comments about the job security in politics ,without accountability for wrong doing, should open the eyes of every American that has allowed for this corruption to
The changing economy and the social strain are very significant problems of the modern world. People are starting to lose faith in governments every day and the examples of this are conflicts that take place all over the world. The government of the United States has proven to back up people and support their rights in any way possible. Voting was not an issue in the past decade, as people have gained their equal rights of voicing an opinion, in regards to the government they want to see controlling matters of the country. Even though it might seems as a small problem, comparing to all other troubles that the nation has experienced, nonetheless it must be addressed in a timely matter because any delay in making the decision will make the issue even more severe.
Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. This whole project of Prohibition was all a big fail. Today as a whole I don’t know why we would even attempt it like some places have. It needs to be a learning experience for our government today not to do what it did back then and spend tons of money on laws that are going to fail and cause more debt. In all the Prohibition Era was a down for America even though it might not say so, but it was a true down grade instead of a booming
Anything that goes against what the corporate powers that be is demonized and twisted into a different form through their media outlets to create something that the ill-informed will swallow it no questions asked. Anyone that speaks out against what is obviously wrong with the system is turned into an enemy, while the one’s violating our rights and freedoms are treated like benevolent kings. Recently there have been many successful efforts to subjugate the poorer voters in this country. These measures have passed and it will become difficult for poorer and elderly people to vote in this country. The reason for this is simple, poor people and minorities are more likely to vote for Obama in the coming election and they have more numbers than those that will not.
