"It is impossible for an effective political leader to tell the truth
all the time. Complete honesty is not a useful virtue for a politician."
"Most people choose a career on the basis of such pragmatic considerations as
the needs of the economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary
they can expect to make. Hardly anyone is free to choose a career based on
his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind of work."

"The following appeared as an editorial in a wildlife journal. "Arctic deer
live on islands in Canada's arctic region. They search for food by moving
over ice from island to island during the course of a year. Their habitat is
limited to areas warm enough to sustain the plants on which they feed, and
cold enough, at least some of the year, for the ice to cover the sea
separating the islands, allowing the deer to travel over it. Unfortunately,
according to reports from local hunters, the deer populations are declining.
Since these reports coincide with recent global warming trends that have
caused the sea ice to melt, we can conclude that the decline in arctic deer
populations is the result of deer being unable to follow their age-old
migration patterns across the frozen sea."
