1. Since you’re beginning your cross-country road trip tomorrow morning, you ought to have the oil changed in your car tonight. 2. This bottle of Opus One wine must be good, because all expensive wines are good, and this bottle of Opus One wine is expensive. 3. Mike is hardworking, intelligent, and honest, and given that he has owned two successful businesses in the past, it makes sense to conclude that Mike would be a good person to go into business with. 4. The skate park must not have been vandalized last night, because if the skate park got vandalized, then it would be closed, and it’s not closed. 5. I most likely got food poisoning from Acme Sushi. First, I had been feeling great until a few hours after I ate there. Second, I found out that they only got a “C” rating from the county health department.

They both love skateboarding, and they both love the snow as well. Michelle has really started to love snowboarding, hence Sarah will probably love snowboarding as well. 8. Physician-assisted suicide ought to be legal. Terminally ill people are autonomous agents capable of deciding when they have suffered enough.

A traditional college education can train you for a career, but it can also train you to be more focused and disciplined as well. Also, a traditional college education gives you the opportunity to be exposed to people you may not have sought out on your own, and to concepts that most likely have never even occurred to you. And, considering the fact the cost of an education is going up and admissions to four-year universities are becoming more competitive, you ought to take your college education seriously. 10. Mike has probably tried alcohol, seeing that 71% of 10th graders have tried alcohol and Mike is a 10th grader. 11. Drugs are harmful and they are addictive and therefore ought to remain illegal.
