Every year some 65 000 high school students - many of them star students and leaders in their communities - are unable to go to college or get a good job because they have no legal status.

The more expansive government is the more perils people face in daily lives be it from IRS agents or from child support services or from other agencies that often have little or no legal restraints on their power.

One thing I was thinking about is that they probably get their come-uppance about the same percentage that people in real life do. Basically stealing for all practical purposes might as well be legal in New York.

We've got fifty people at Gitmo that are too dangerous to be let go that will never go through a normal criminal trial. Let's create a new legal system so they'll have their day in court.

Above all we must have great respect for these people who also suffer and who want to find their own way of correct living. On the other hand to create a legal form of a kind of homosexual marriage in reality does not help these people.

Who most benefits from keeping marijuana illegal? The greatest beneficiaries are the major criminal organizations in Mexico and elsewhere that earn billions of dollars annually from this illicit trade - and who would rapidly lose their competitive advantage if marijuana were a legal commodity.

In the early centuries of Islam the great schools of Islamic jurisprudence were built upon the above principles. Basic to all their legal systems they developed the doctrine that liberty is the fundamental basis of law.

I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional arguments but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction.

I believe wholeheartedly in marriage. I don't exclusively mean a marriage with a legal contract but any relationship that constitutes a marriage because of the quality of their relationship.

I have written about the dispossessed immigrants the condition of women who do not enjoy the same legal rights as men the Palestinians who are deprived of their land and condemned to exile.

I don't know of many evangelicals who want to deny gay couples their legal rights. However most of us don't want to call it marriage because we think that word has religious connotations and we're not ready to see it used in ways that offend us.

We must have great respect for these people who also suffer and who want to find their own way of correct living. On the other hand to create a legal form of a kind of homosexual marriage in reality does not help these people.

We owe the Aboriginal peoples a debt that is four centuries old. It is their turn to become full partners in developing an even greater Canada. And the reconciliation required may be less a matter of legal texts than of attitudes of the heart.

I have been surrounded by some of the smartest brightest most caring lawyers by agents who are willing to risk their lives for others by support staff that are willing to work as hard as they can.

Cagey trial lawyers have figured out there's a pretty good likelihood their case - no matter what its merit - will literally get its day in court because of favorable judges.

Lawyers spend a great deal of their time shoveling smoke.

People are getting smarter nowadays they are letting lawyers instead of their conscience be their guide.

Learning while at school that the charge for the education of girls was the same as that for boys and that when they became teachers women received only half as much as men for their services the injustice of this distinction was so apparent.

I come from Montana and in eastern Montana we have a lot of dirt between light bulbs. It is expensive trying to bring the new technologies to smaller schools to upgrade their technologies to take advantage of distance learning.

Under these conditions it is not astonishing that learning was highly prized in fact my parents made sacrifices to be able to give their children a good education.

Students who are interested in learning about the environment should not be dissuaded from doing so but only if they have proved their proficiency in other basic courses such as U.S. history. Until then we need to focus on producing well-educated citizens steeped in their country's history and mindful of their civic responsibilities.

Everything starts and ends with the song and working with writers and really learning their process and craft was an invaluable experience.

The Finland of the 21st century can thrive only if women of learning - in common with their male counterparts - are guaranteed the opportunity to use their creative potential to the full.

I'm learning with the older that I get that some feelings are just universal and that I'm not the only one who hates their hair or their life at times.
