President George H. W. Bush and his promise four years earlier to never raise taxes experienced considerable criticism from economic conservatives who felt betrayed by Bush’s 1990 tax-hike, which he implemented over the objections of economic conservatives who decried tax hikes, insisted that low taxes created wealth, and contended that deregulation promoted innovation

Two seasons ago, Samuel fished on another boat off Dutch Harbor and caught more fish than any other member of that boat.

Before becoming a fisherman, Samuel piloted a fishing boat whose members regularly caught record numbers of fish.

While fishing this past season, Samuel fell sick for a week and did not catch any fish during this time.

Unlike the other fishermen on his boat, at the order of the captain, Samuel fished this past season with experimental bait.

Amongst the fishing community in Dutch Harbor, Samuel has a reputation for being an especially bad fisherman.

The amount of damaging chemicals and fumes released into the air by cigarette smoke is far less than the amount released from automobiles, especially from older models.

Banning smoking in most public places will not considerably reduce the percent of the population in the state in question that smokes.

The state whose legislators are proposing the tough smoking legislation has a relatively high percent of its population that smoke.

Another state that enacted a similar law a decade ago saw a statistically significant drop in lung-cancer rates among non-smokers.

A nearby state up-wind has the highest number of smokers in the country.

The jobs of many high-bandwidth users require these individuals to use high-bandwidth services.

Placing no restrictions on the bandwidth of individuals who use high-bandwidth services would force ISPs to purchase massive amounts of expensive additional bandwidth, disproportionately increasing the price of access for low-bandwidth users.

A strong and well respected lobbying firm recently revealed it has been hired by large telecommunications firms to oppose Net Neutrality on the grounds that it infringes upon a private company's ability to do business.

One country that mandated Net Neutrality saw a decrease in satisfaction of Internet users.

A recent court ruling upheld the principle that technology companies cannot discriminate in whom they serve or how they serve users.

Another study found that people who consumed one tablespoon of flax seed oil per day were more than four times less likely to be diagnosed with cancer as those who did not.

Participants in the study reported consuming no vegetables other than beets.

The study was only conducted in one city.

In another experiment, cancer patients who ate one or more beets per day were no more likely to recover than those who ate no beets.

The participants in the study who ate beets were more likely to exercise regularly than those who did not eat beets.

All computer programs must lack creativity in order to be well received.

Some computer scientists entirely disregarded creativity and chose instead to pursue profit.

A program cannot be both creative and profitable.

Computer scientists are obsessed with the profitability of their work.

Non-profit institutions use large amounts of software.

All wavelengths of light from the sun that damage the eyes of animals are blocked by a healthy ozone layer.

Some animals do not experience damage to their eyes when exposed to unfiltered waves of light.

Only a handful of animal species live in places where they are exposed to the damaging light waves.

The rising temperature of the earth poses a severe threat to animals.

Some wavelengths of light that engender eye damage in certain animals are more likely to hit the earth due to ozone decay.

A well-written detective story consists of an investigation being undertaken by a competent and incompetent investigator.

Some authors use an incompetent investigator to show the complexities of an investigation.

Authors never write stories with incompetent investigators who solve a case correctly.

Authors can use the separate investigative accounts to make predicting the correct outcome of the investigation more difficult.

Authors write stories with competent and incompetent investigators to show the complexity of real life.

MicroChip expects this discount to help the company retain existing customers and gain new ones, enabling the firm to survive in the long-term.

There are no other competing chip companies with prices lower than the reduced price.

The government will provide massive technology tax credits to businesses, spurring them to purchase chips and other related products.

The government will not pursue MircoChip if in fact its behavior in offering a deep discount amounts to a violation of predatory pricing laws.

The decrease in revenue brought about by the reduction in price will be smaller than the anticipated increase in revenue brought about by the increase in demand (spurred by the reduction in price).

The government is exercising too much control over the media

The government needs to open the media and release its hold on certain forms of speech

Democracy requires a strong and free press

Even ideas not supportive of democracy can strengthen a government

The future of the media lies in the hands of the government

Shortly before the government experts reached their conclusions, two private security companies each claimed to have developed "the world's strongest email encryption algorithm"

The private security firms' decision to advertise their products and sell them publicly led to other members of the private sector and academia scrutinizing the encryption algorithms.

An open-source encryption algorithm, developed by an academic and freely available from popular websites, is recognized by numerous ex-government code breakers as the most unbreakable algorithm ever developed.

An enemy government recently succeeded in placing a spy within the government espionage operations referred to above.

To strengthen the reputation of the private security firms, employees of these firms publish information about the strength of their products and the benefits of using them.
