Introductory Sentence: A Battle between Good and Evil?

  

First sentences aren't really a battle of good against evil, but you can think of them that way. Like in the cartoons, there's a little devil on your left shoulder and an angel on your rights. The devil is whispering: write something really general, write something that everybody already knows, write something that you couldn't support with evidence in a million years; while the angel is whispering: write something really interesting about your actual topic that will hold your readers' interest through the critical three seconds when you will either gain or lose their attention. In the comments section, write a BAD first sentence and a GOOD one.
