151: Affirmative Action: Public OPinion vs. Policy
... multiculturalism"—i.e., segregation. Implementing it necessitated a degree of racial and sexual consciousness virtually limitless in its application.There are few figures in public life today as committed to the diversity idea as President Clinton. From the musical and literary selections at his inaugural ceremony, to his policy of setting aside one of every three positions on the new adminstration for women and minorities, to his having reserved to position ... a woman, to the scrupulous balancing of his health-care task force according to race and gender, to the proposal advanced by that task force to impose a diversity system on the medical profession, the Clinton administration has sent an unmistakable message: as for as the government is concerned, America is a country that counts by race and gender.The adminstration's attitude was perhaps most vividly demonstrated ina case involving ... blacks were well- represented throughout the faculty, the board dismissed the white teacher on purely racial grounds. She then sued, and the Bush adminstration, citing flagrant reverse discrimination, supported her action (Citrin 40-1). The Clinton adminstration, however, abruptly reversed course and supported the schoool board. It had to do so on grounds other than discrimination against the black teacher, which was never an issue in this case; the grounds ...
152: Global Warming And The Greenhouse Effect
... days. Uncut grass also gives off VOC s and cutting grass makes it worse. In a city like Los Angeles, mowing accounts for 10% of the VOC s in the atmosphere, say researchers. President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore have different stands on the global warming issue. Al Gore is pushing for a radical stand and wants to cut back on emissions to ten percent below the levels of ... of people populating our world. Gore believes that Americans will be thankful in the long run for him saving the world from ecological disaster. Many others believe that Americans will be mad at Gore if Clinton takes Gore s stand on the issue because energy costs will rise and the economy will slump. Not many people seem to be in favor of a rise in taxes on energy so we can ... and others are pursuing programs and policies that will result in the greenhouse gas emission reductions. The U.S. Global Change Research Program coordinates the world s most extensive research effort on climate change. The Clinton Administration is aiming at addressing the challenge of global warming and at the same time strengthening the economy. Martin Parry, a geographer at University College in London proposes these measures in the reducing of ...
153: The New Federalist Party
... from simply because they have a license to receive food stamps from "customers." Foreign Policy: There is one thing America should do with it's foreign policy, and that is to dump it. Our president Clinton has embarrassed us enough with his lame threats to third world countries that will not give in to his wishes. The New Federalist party favors a withdrawal of all overseas troops. Bring them back from ... get involved it will be by free will, not dragged in by NATO. The next issue of foreign policy is our newfound love of being the police nation (aka. Globocop). The United States, under Bill Clinton has stuck our noses in other nations business and have therefore been dragged into the mess. Somalia is a prime example. Even though human rights are very important, it was simply none of our business. If we attempt the same thing with China we might get hurt. Now Clinton is meddling with Bosnia, a disaster in the making. The New Federalists's plan of action for the Bosnian situation would to not get involved since the U.S. has no vital interests at ...

155: Internet in the Classroom
Internet in the Classroom The Internet is a network of millions of computers worldwide, connected together. It is an elaborate source of education, information, entertainment, and communication. Recently, President Bill Clinton expressed an idea to put the Internet into every classroom in America by the year 2000[4]. Considering the magnitude of this problem, and the costs involved, it is not realistically possible to set this ... in kindergarten through 12th grade[3]. Considering an average of about 50 classrooms per school, at an average cost of $1,000 per classroom for one connection(an extremely low estimate), this will give president Clinton's idea a price tag of roughly $4 billion. This estimate does not even begin to take into account the costs of constant upgrades, full- time technicians, and structural changes required to install these systems ... but do we really need it? Considering that all major and most minor colleges offer a wide range of Internet services, it is not necessary to have that same service in our public schools. Bill Clinton's idea of putting Internet service into every classroom in America by the year 2000 is not realistically possible. When you look into the facts, it is obvious that this plan has not been ...

157: The Internet
... from each other, instead of being bound by geographical location. Although the Internet already has an enormous impact on Americans right now, it will influence us even more in the near future. In 1994, the Clinton administration requested a National Information Infrastructure, which would link every business, home, school and college (Cooke 64). That is why the Clinton administration has made the building of an improved data highway the main component of a determined plan to strengthen the U.S. economy in the 21st century (Silverstein 8).

THEREFORE, the National Organization for Women demands that President Clinton and Congress support an unequivocal ban on discrimination against lesbians and gay men in the military and that they reject such insulting alternatives as segregated units and restricted duties. Nothing less than full equality is ... in our current military. Straights are also able to keep gays down because of this anxiety. The present view of our government on gays in the military is a policy first brought up by the Clinton administration, and that is a policy of “Don’t ask, Don’t tell”, meaning that a persons sexual orientation will remain secret. As we all know a person’s sexual orientation can only be ...
159: Congressmen and Their Influences
... harmony. Many of their efforts are contradictory because they represent different constituencies and are faced with different pressures. Party lines are not the only ones that dived when it come to policy making. Carter and Clinton both saw the difficulty incurred, even in unified government, to formulate policy. These separation of powers forces the burden of policy making to be done even though many competing individuals fight for their agendas to ... members may be an advocate all the way to the floor and within the committees. Other informal ties help to influence the Executive-Legilative relationship as they work together. For the first two years of Clinton's term, he worked with a unified government to pass many of his ideas that he gained support for through public appeals. Many of the members who supported the President were passed over for re-election for the sole reason of supporting him. Many were perceived to be acting as trustees and were ousted in favor of Republicans who promised to be more like delegates of their constituency. Clinton was able to gain the upper hand in public support after the governmental shutdowns were judged to be the fault of a radical congress that tried to pass an unacceptable budget proposal into law. ...

... the trouble,” (Dolan 39). Still, in the midst of all these opinions and suggestions, no substantial reforms have been made. That is until just recently. With Vice President Gore’s campaign proposal for handgun licensing, Clinton has taken the strongest stand on the gun control factor yet (Washington Post 1). The Gore-to-Clinton reforms include a ban on the manufacture, import, and ownership of handguns as well as assault-style weapons (Washington Post 1). Another part of Clinton’s reforms is the development of guns that fire only when held by their owners and for much stricter enforcement of laws than the already existing ones (Washington Post 1). Bill Bradley, a runner ...
