Democratic Elections -- Protection Against Tyranny
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses how in the earliest days of the fledgling United States, the leaders of the country were clear on their intention to assure that the government they formed would be one with safeguards against the forms of tyranny they had known in their native England.

Depression Era Foods
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Unlike other times of harsh conditions whereby food became a scarce commodity, the Depression era did not elicit the same shortage; in fact, there was an abundance of affordable food that kept people from consuming otherwise inedible provisions that stood in for familiar food. The key word that differentiated the Depression era from other times of hardship is inexpensive, inasmuch as providers simply had to scale down the quality of their food choices in order to meet their family's needs. Moreover, the ability to can foods, bake bread, churn butter and in essence make as much food from one's own hands so as to avoid having to purchase ready-made supplies made it more financially feasible for families to move through the Depression era with minimal concern for nourishment. And because many were farmers, produce and other crops were readily available for the family and for sharing. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Deterrence to War
[ send me this paper ]
Earth was once a world where deterrence safeguarded any one country or leader from ruling the planet or other countries. That time has passed. The George W. Bush Administration has used September 11 to change war strategy around the world just in time to guarantee (it would appear) that rogue states like Iraq, North Korea and China don’t amass any equalizing power in the form of nuclear or military arsenals, used or not. Under the Cold War deterrence policy . . . the world and the United States, Bush’s strong arm move to forced disarmament over the equalizing force of deterrence policy has completely swept away the near-term global peace that had almost settled in only 50 years after World War II. Now, we all have to live with the consequences, and the extremity of those consequences could be severe. 6 works cited. jvDetere.rtf
