		<description><![CDATA[Can I secede? My fellow American&#8217;s are a bunch of dumba**es. I disagree with much of O&#8217;s education plans and wish he would do more for our youth than talk at them and tell them to stay in school, but geeze&#8230;
I love much of what the United States is about, but I&#8217;m really not liking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If an industry is doing some good, but the good they are doing is in the spirit of making them money, is it still doing good? Is a show like Extreme Makeover exploiting the lives of struggling people even as it &#8220;helps&#8221; them?
I would like to know the tax ramifications of being helped by Extreme [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One article is about the health impact of worms/parasites in African nations and how inexpensively this devastating health problem could be addressed if only some attention were turned that way. I&#8217;m sure the issues of delivering aid to the afflicted are much more complex that I could ever imagine (graft, bureaucracy, etc), but nonetheless, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Bush wrote a two page letter to congress threatening to veto any bill that “allow(s) taxpayer dollars to be used for the destruction of human life.” The bills under question are those that protect a woman&#8217;s right to choose abortion. However, Bush recently vetoed a bill that restricted funding for the Iraq war&#8230;the funding [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just got around to watching the documentary, &#8220;Why We Fight.&#8221; Incredibly well done, but devastating.
One person makes the comment that capitalism is winning. We send our soldiers not to fight for freedom or liberty or any of those high ideals. We send them to keep what Eisenhower warned us against&#8211;the military industrial complex.
One other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been somewhat out of the loop in terms of new music releases. When I work, I can&#8217;t listen to anything with lyrics (I get too distracted), and when I drive I tend to listen to NPR. I tend to rely heavily on Pandora.com when I do have music on. It&#8217;s convenient. I&#8217;ve created a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone is writing about the heat, I suppose. I&#8217;ll be no different. I&#8217;m skipping my morning bike ride today. When I got up at 7:30 it was already in the 80s. There is a decent breeze blowing, but as I sit here in front of the fan with my laptop, I&#8217;m already beginning to feel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m wrapping up a six month attempt to read The World is Flat. I know, it&#8217;s a majorly hot book right now. There are some school districts nearby that are talking it up and how they need to think about their educational program in light of what Friedman is saying. But I have to admit, [...]]]></description>
