		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a little longer than my usual writing interval and I&#8217;m feeling comfortable blaming it on work being very busy and the summer heat making me feel lazy. Lately, everything I see in the news lately is about this bullshit mosque controversy and the midterm elections. I guess the campaign to keep us in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The world is a scary place and I make no mistake about that. We&#8217;re told this all the time by our media, politicians, loved ones, and culture. In politics, the fear generated by world events is used to the benefit of those with or seeking power. If a threat is not actually a threat, it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a host of great reasons why the mosque being constructed near Ground Zero delights me. Despite my atheism, the construction of this holy place is really quite a great symbol for the culture of our country. Not because of some romantic idea about healing or tolerance. If we were going to pat ourselves on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been watching a bunch of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts&#8217; videos lately, and I especially have been enjoying their animated lectures. There&#8217;s one narrated by Jeremy Rifkin that talks about the myths of human nature and the need to achieve an empathic civilization. It raises important issues about human consciousness and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When one takes the time to read liberal blogs a pattern quickly becomes apparent. When one is so entangled in the system of our government it obscures what one is actually cheering for or raging against. The line, ideologically speaking, becomes so blurred that thankfully one is able to determine which people deserve cheering or [...]]]></description>

Anyone still defending Obama has to either be [...]]]></description>

Whether it be in the form of rights, money, jobs, security, honesty, transparency, or any of a myriad of things we generally take [...]]]></description>

It has been the greatest communications device ever created, the ability for humanity to share information on such a scale helps to make the world much smaller for important ideas to travel.

While the Rachel Corrie and her passengers were not killed like previous attempts to bring aid to Gaza, the aid supplies were again prevented from reaching a people that desperately need them. The crimes against [...]]]></description>
