According to Fueur, the ranchers that have taken over the Malhuer National Wildlife Refuge are “vowing to return it -by force of arms, if necessary- to the people.” This statement elucidates the existing conflict. The ranchers participating in the standoff want to have locals administering the land in the area, and these people protest against the government in order to do so (Fueur). Furthermore, the article informs readers about additional disputes over land use in the West and Fueur states that similar militias have “helped owners of an Oregon gold mine chase away federal agents.”…

    In 1896, the Local Prohibition case ended with the results the people wanted -- federal jurisdiction had the power to control manufacture of wholesale liquor and provinces had the power to control sale, licensing, and transport within their borders (Module 6, Mini Lecture 1).

    Regarding physician assisted suicide, also known as PAS, J. David Velleman argues that a PAS policy could be harmful to patients and thus, we should not have a policy.

His argument focuses on the harm on a patient that PAS can have by adding the burden to opt for PAS. By giving more options, a PAS policy can push a patient to choose death. Without the option of PAS, Velleman says, a patient can continue to live by default.…
