In summary, Brooks Adams felt that the nature of history was order and that the order so discovered was as much subject to historical laws as the forces of nature.

What is exposited by this observation is not the inherent prejudices of Englishmen but the Anglophobia of Brooks Adams.

Adams contended that once such a special class had been created it became a vested interest and sought to maintain itself by assuming exclusive control over the relationships between God and man.

The importance of knowing in what chemical forms the hormone may exist is accentuated by the recent observation that there exists an abnormally long-acting TSH in blood drawn from many thyrotoxic patients ( Adams, 1958 ).

Dilbert is an American comic strip written and drawn by Scott Adams.

Adams responded in the February 2, 1998 strip and in his book The Joy of Work, simply by restating Solomon's argument, apparently suggesting that it was absurd and required no rebuttal.

" In September of the same year, Griffith mocked Adams by mimicking his Pippy the Ziphead creation with a strip showing stiff, Dilbert-like creations in an office setting and one of the characters saying, " I sense a joke was delivered.

Dilbert has occasionally been criticized for alleged " insensitivity " and off-color jokes, as documented by Adams in The Joy of Work.

In It's Not Funny If I Have to Explain It, Adams recounts having been attacked for the alleged political content of his work, although in the case of one such strip ( where oil drilling kills a unicorn ) he excuses himself by saying " I just thought the image was funny.
