Since Sodium and Chloride are each toxic to humans, the combination of sodium and chloride would be harmful to people.
Professor Andrews, surely I deserve a B in logic. I know that I have gotten F’s on all the tests, but if you give me an F for my final grade, I will lose my scholarship. That will force me to drop out of school, and my poor, aged parents, who yearn to see me graduate, will be grief-stricken for the rest of their lives.
This administration is not anti-German, as it has been alleged. Germany is a great country. It has contributed immensely to the world’s artistic treasury. Goethe and Schiller made magnificent contributions to literature, and Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, and Brahms did the same in music.
I know you are folks are patriotic god-loving citizens, just like me, but my opponent is not. How can you vote for him when he doesn’t support the same values that we cherish?

Humanitarian groups have argued in favor of housing for the poor. Apparently what they want is another high-density project. Unfortunately, these projects have been tried in the past and have failed. In no time they turn into ghettos with astronomical rates of crime and delinquency. Chicago’s Cabrini-Green is a prime example. Clearly, these humanitarian arguments are not what they seem.
If you are opposed to the North American Free Trade Agreement, you are obviously opposed to free trade
Environmentalists are continually harping about the dangers of nuclear power. Unfortunately, electricity is dangerous no matter where it comes from. Every year hundreds of people are electrocuted by accident. Since most of these accidents are caused by carelessness, they could be avoided if people would just exercise greater caution
Congress shouldn’t bother to consult major universities about educational appropriations. As members of educational establishment, they will naturally want as much money for education as they think they can get.

We’d all like to live in peace with the other nations of this world, but we deceive ourselves if we think we can do that without being prepared to defend ourselves and our allies, our rights and our interests. It’s a dangerous world out there, and I’d be derelict in my duty to the people of this nation if I allowed us to lie down and cry ‘Uncle.”‘
There is a good deal of talk these days about the need to eliminate pesticides from our fruits and vegetables. But many of these foods are essential to our health. Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, broccoli is rich in iron, and oranges and grapefruits have lots of vitamin C.
