... is taken away, what will be decided for us next?
What we can wear? What we can read and what we can say? Possibly even how
we can act? This is not the American way! In fact, it is unconstitutional.
We must be aware of this lack of freedom and see to it that women receive
it.
Sadly, there are many people who can not afford to support a child.
There are people who hate themselves and are incapable of loving another.

... to work.
In modern times, quackery is known as health fraud. But call it quackery or call
it health fraud, the result is the same - unfulfilled wishes, wasted dollars,
endangered health. Often quack products are fairly easy to spot, like the magic
pills you are supposed to take to stay forever young. But sometimes the products
are vaguely based on some medical report that you may even have heard about in

... and the original object may be vague or farfetched. The laws of logic, indispensable for conscious thinking, do not apply to these unconscious mental productions.
Recognition of these modes of operation in unconscious mental processes made possible the understanding of such previously incomprehensible psychological phenomena as dreaming. Through analysis of unconscious processes, Freud saw dreams as serving to protect sleep against disturbing impulses arising from within and related to early life experiences.

... everything they had -- are dangerous
myths for a city poised to become America's newest economic icon. In fact,
tourists taking their own lives surrounded by the glamour of the Strip comprise
only a small percentage of the fatalities. The bulk are those who moved here for
jobs, who live just beyond the lights. Eight times as many residents kill
themselves here as do visitors.
Second, I am told that in Las Vegas I will feel more alive. Anything can be had
here; this is the last place before the millennium where real money can be made.
An open season: anything goes; like America used to be. My frien ...

... through traditional Chinese medicine. About 2,500 years ago, in the mountains of Northern China, Taoist priests practiced Qi labeling it the vital life force. They believed that this source was inseperable from life itself. Through Traditional Chinese medicine it is phylosophized that Qi is displayed as both yin “interior”, and yang “exterior”.

The recognition of one is necessary to the recognition of t ...
