Suggest at least ONE rebuttal or exception to each of the following arguments. 1. The Soviet Union should allow Pentecostal Christians to leave their country without undue difficulty. To do otherwise would violate their freedom of religion. 2. The floods along the Colorado River in the Spring of 1983 caused extensive damage to homes and farms, but the people hurt have only themselves to blame because they built homes and businesses within the river’s floodplain. 3. Food and Drug Administration officials have found dioxin levels in fish recently caught in Saginaw Bay reduced to 20 to 24 parts per thousand billion. Since levels below 25 are considered safe for human consumption, it is reasonable to conclude that the bay is getting better. 4. Concern over police brutality toward blacks in New York City should be reduced by appointment of a black captain for the 28th precinct. 5. While the situation in Central America is at a critical point, it is still possible to achieve U.S. objectives without use of our troops if we increase our military aid by 40 percent. It is money, not troops, that the local governments need in order to resist the revolutionary activity, because the majority of the people in each country oppose revolution. 6. The Soviet Union made some minor concessions at the Madrid conference on European security. In the absence of major diplomatic activity, such concessions may constitute a signal that East-West relations are improving. 7. The Congress should support development and deployment of the MX missile system if for no other reason than the fact that it will give the administration an important bargaining chip in future negotiations. 8. Continued government deficits threaten economic health because deficits will raise interest rates and high interest rates will discourage economic activity.
