		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Steve Horowitz says &#8220;No. This is just a myth.&#8221; Here&#8217;s his explanation. It grates me when one behaves as if he or she is clearing something up but he or she doesn&#8217;t make the distinctions required to indicate just what it is that needs to be cleared up in the first place. Statements like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After reading this, I couldn&#8217;t help but laugh a little to myself. While I can certainly appreciate some part of Palin&#8217;s message about providing a positive message to young women caught in such a difficult situation, and I share the desire that something as awful as abortion could someday find its way back out of our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the insurance industry, the idea that the protection insurance offers the consumer promotes a more reckless attitude on the part of said consumer is referred to as &#8220;moral hazard&#8221;. Apparently, since we have the material possessions in our homes insured against burglary, we are less likely to lock our doors for example. While I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think my feelings on illegal immigration have at last reached critical mass. Arizona&#8217;s new social travesty masquerading as a Law is akin to punching Lady Liberty in the bread box. I am ashamed to share a nationality with these people. No illegal immigrants are taking jobs from &#8220;us&#8221;. There is no &#8220;us&#8221; and &#8220;them&#8221;. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I propose a new law that will empower all people. It is called the Health Care Reform Amendment Act 2010 and will henceforth be called The Law, with all the weight and profundity so implied. Past reforms have proposed ridiculous ideas such as giving all people free health care managed by the government, while others [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This supposed link between minorities and the sub-prime crisis has bothered me for quite some time. Many conservatives are making the argument that illegal immigrants, minorities or the poor along with their Democratic allies have somehow created this sub-prime crisis. My fundamental argument is that the poor and minorities don&#8217;t control enough wealth to have [...]]]></description>
