.... or "hard to place" being shuttled off to private, often profit-making institutions in ever greater numbers. As a result: Instead of orphanages, we now have so-called "treatment centers"--a "growth industry" which feeds on unwanted children just as the nursing home business depends for its existence on large numbers of the unwanted elderly. And, as is the case with the elderly, the systematic neglect and maltreatment of children in these facilities is being subsidized by the federal government. In Virginia, former Governor Douglas Wilder discovered the same labeling process t .....

.... sound of the tide rushing on the dark sandy beach is like listening to a live performance of a meditation tape. Relaxing in a beach chair, listening to the slow recession of the water regaining strength and becoming louder until the wave crashes again and the cool surf rushes against your warm, sun-burnt feet, can please even the worst of aquaphobias. Although the sea can intrigue and inspire people, it can also instill and command fear and respect. Hurricanes can produce chaotic winds, rain, and waves, each powerful enough to destroy creations, both man-made and hea .....

.... decision. The only person that it would hurt if you don’t take this type of thing seriously is yourself. Along with this privilege of voting on whom you want to run our country, you are then expected to take the responsibility to fight in war if ever needed. This is just a small price to pay for the right to decide of whose running the country. J Rockefeller Jr. describes this good in this quote, "I believe that every right implies a responsibility: every opportunity an obligation: every possession a duty.” Being an individual is very important with being an .....

.... 197) History of Mardi Gras in New Orleans during the 18th century. Many wealthy Louisiana families would leave their rural plantations to spend the winter months in New Orleans, where they held lavish parties and masked balls. The first written reference to Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans appears in a 1781 report of the Spanish government, which controlled Louisiana.

She meets the prince in the forest when she saves his life instead of the traditional stories of meeting the prince at the ball. I think that this gave more plot and details to the story. Even though this is relating to the fairytale of it is a real life experience. Which doesn't include the help of the animal .....

.... water level, on the surface of consciousness, but by far the biggest part of it is hidden underwater, in the unconscious mind. Recent research has shown that only a very tiny proportion of our unconscious thinking is converted to conscious thinking. This conversion processes like the search engine in a computer: this ‘search engine’ unconsciously selects the thoughts we want to be available for our conscious mind. Then a small part of the thoughts from the unconscious component of the mind, the part that is aware of, and to a certain extent induces the person’ .....

.... the fossil record and present times; therefore, there is nothing to show that evolution actually happened. Second, that natural selection cannot advance an organism to a higher order. The third being that although evolutionists believe life just came about, matter resulted from nothing, and humans evolved from animals, all of these are against scientific and natural understandings. Fourth, even though evolutionists present them as if they were, the hominids' bones and skull records, for example the famous Lucy, the finds are unrevealing and inconsistent. The fifth and sixth .....
