It's going to set an example and encourage other banks and hopefully developers to say they will not take advantage of the government's power of eminent domain to force people out of their homes and businesses. It's the right thing to do, and it also makes sense as a business decision. These projects are so wildly unpopular, they're going to encounter political opposition and maybe litigation, and they often don't work anyway.

Our lobby was very intense because of the opposition [to CNOOC in Congress].

Mothers seeing their sons die are not only a very powerful and emotional anti-war face but the one group in a position now to lead the opposition.

We executed our game plan almost to perfection. It was a nice win for us. But most importantly, we played with intensity for a full game. In recent contests, we've had patches where we lost focus and the opposition took advantage of it. Tonight, we didn't have any lapses in intensity.

It gives Raul's side a tremendous strategic advantage, either way. It freezes the opposition. It's brilliant, if you think about it. And you have to be really popular to pull this off. You have to be really sure.

There's nothing that appears to be fatal in terms of what (the Conservatives) are proposing to bring in. If the opposition decides they want to take the government down on these issues, they've got a lot of selling to do to Canadians.

You need to get out there racing against the opposition. You put a marker down and see where you are at.

People may say it was meant as a joke and maybe we're being fuddy-duddies. But we don't see it like that. There is a basic lack of respect involved here. You always respect the opposition, whoever they may be - captain of England or captain of Azerbaijan.

Given the sort and level of opposition from the neighbors as to the number of occupants and seasonal workers we would like to be able to house in the building, we have concluded that it might not be in our best interests to pursue this. As the proposal now stands, we would gain only 10 extra beds, and that might not be worth -8 million.

Everybody is just ignoring us. There is such a large opposition to this project. This area is not ready for development.

The 1998 missile strike on the Sudan was an unannounced, unprovoked attack that destroyed that Third World nation's only medicine factory. Yet it provoked no opposition outcry on the left. The Clinton air strike violated every principle of the current liberal critique of Bush foreign policy.

We've beaten all our opposition at different times, so we know we are capable of beating them on the day.

I think I'll predominantly play most of the time up forward, but on the odd occasion, depending on what side the opposition has got, I might go back there, but I'd say 90 per cent of the time, I'll be up forward.

The lack of aggressive opposition this time has opened up a pretty wide playing field for the administration. If Roberts is confirmed easily, the lesson the Bush administration learns from that is they can get away with (another conservative nominee) as long as the ideologue has a good resume and a nice smile.

Even when they released the 'Memory and Reconciliation' document, the Vatican made clear that there were different camps inside the church, some of whom felt the church was going too far in its apology and others who believe it hadn't gone far enough. Although this pope has gone a lot further than any in history toward acknowledging corporate responsibility on the part of the church, he's pushing against significant opposition, and the outcome will still be regarded as insufficient in some quarters.

That's the 4,000 question. Will Than Shwe - if and when he is succeeded - will he be replaced by someone more pragmatic and disposed to dialogue with the opposition?

The outpouring of opposition to cuts in services needed by vulnerable families shows that more and more people across the nation want Congress to back the right priorities. People understand that it makes no sense to cut education, nutrition, and other vital services so that the wealthiest among us can receive billions more in tax breaks.

Some of my constituents have told me to not to restrict it to commuter hours, but I suspect the opposition from the authority would be even more intense.

Businesses also get used to having their address as part of their identity. Their address is part of their economic identity in that it's how people find them. Having said that, it will be interesting to see if the opposition from business owners is enough to deter the proposal.

That consistently is the most common objection or common opposition you see with a street-naming debate. I think it's the most vocal opposition. (Businesses) either fear the cost of changing their address or the loss of their traditional identity.
