Jack Brooks once stated that “Every disaster is an opportunity‚” and he was absolutely correct. Brooks’ statement especially holds true to politicians. Politicians are in a constant struggle to gain the support of the citizens‚ and to be successful they need take advantage of every presented opportunity to get seen and heard by the public.

Why Was There A Revolution In 1905 The Revolution in 1905 happened for many reasons‚ some reasons are long term and some short term. A long-term cause of the 1905 Revolution was the continuing dissatisfaction of both peasants and landowners to the Emancipation Edict of 1861.

I think that one of the biggest miscarriages of justice that I witnessed in my lifetime was that of Dr. Jack Kevorkian receiving a 10 to 25 year sentence for wanting to help end the suffering of a helpless human-being. Dubbed "Dr. Death" by the media frenzy that followed the actions of the controversial physician‚ he received this sentence for helping to end the life of 52 year old Thomas Youk‚ who was fighting a hopeless battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease. Dr. Kevorkian set up his "suicide machine"
