| A lot of what I was saying seven, eight years ago, among the few who were saying it, are now almost givens in the discussion, so I feel good about that. |
| Modern academics argue there are no givens, all is a social construct, but we suspect they are wrong. |
| We take as givens the forces of gravity, the laws of nature, the ideas that an electron has a negative charge and the protons a positive charge. |
| The right to privacy is one of a democracy's givens and the media expose police and bureaucrats who invade it. |
| For investment purposes, what finds favour is the fact that a number of givens are known at the outset. |
| They are not givens and there are large bodies of literature that are being overlooked. |
