(If the woman had been more "modest" like not allowing herself to be alone with a man in the first place, the rape wouldn't have happened, so it's really her own fault.) In all fairness, though, women shouldn't be ...

- ... he would arouse the emotions of the crowd,(Strasser 1993, (Internet)). The ability to be an emotional driving speaker is a leadership skill that most desire, but few have.

When someone accomplishes something, for most ... his cool for a moment. Although Hitler may not have had a great education, he did have great leadership skills.

- ... things about prohibiting tobacco advertising reduced marketing costs, causing tobacco industries to earn "phenomenal profits". At Imperial Tobacco which controls 65% of the Canadian market, operating profits have doubled since 1988. No wonder Clinton's proposal probably won't work. Kids don't pay attention to their health.

- ... radiation. The formula for this is E = hu, where E is the energy of the radiation, h is a universal constant known as Planck's constant, and u is the frequency of the radiation. This proposal-that the energy contained within a light beam is transferred in individual units, or quanta-contradicted a hundred-year-old tradition of considering light energy a manifestation of continuous processes.
