		<title>The Problem With Prop 8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[California recently passed Proposition 8 which bans gay marriage. Many conservatives see this as a step back to good old fashioned American values; they see it as a step in the right direction.
Proposition 8 is, however, an insidious and detrimental assault on the rights of every person in the state of California&#8211;gay or straight, if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Safe Haven Nightmare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In America&#8217;s heartland a battle is raging over so-called safe haven laws which enable parents to freely turn over custody of their children to various organizations like hospitals and fire departments. Most states have safe haven laws which allow parents of infants to abandon the children in hopes of reducing the rates of infanticide and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Magic Pill: Society itself is the root of society&#8217;s problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction? It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect, antidepressants are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama and Guantanamo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the election over and Obama officially elected as our &#8220;king&#8221; to be, everyone is waiting impatiently to see if he is really going to live up to those vague election season promises of &#8220;hope&#8221; and &#8220;change&#8221;. While his supporters see the possibility that he may really be in it to change America, I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Soviet Gulags</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across a very interesting collection of photos from the old Soviet gulags. There isn&#8217;t much for me to say about this because I honestly don&#8217;t know a lot about the gulags or Soviet era Russian history. I just think the photos are great&#8211;not the highest quality, of course, but gut wrenching in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review: The Stand (No Spoilers)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Stand is one of the most enduringly popular Stephen King books, and for good reason. The Stand is a fictional novel about a plague&#8211;near total death and destruction&#8211;brought about by our own American government&#8217;s tinkering with nature. Nearly 90% of the population of Earth is wiped out when a man-made disease, which spreads like [...]]]></description>

		<title>And the winner is&#8230;BOLIVIA!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The BBC is reporting that Bolivia is suspending US DEA operations within that nation. This is great news for anyone that believes in national sovereignty, human rights and ending the war on drugs so the Western world can get on with more important matters like treating drug addiction instead of criminalizing it. Although Bolivia isn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Uncle Sam is a predator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, I thought I&#8217;d clue you in to a little bit of personal information about myself. I work in payroll. I process people&#8217;s paychecks. And I have first hand experience witnessing the devastation that Uncle Sam throws upon hard working American citizens.
It wasn&#8217;t always like this. When this nation was formed, taxes were low. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is America Going Red?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the election drawing near, the media is talking a lot about red states and blue states, but there are a number of underlying issues that don&#8217;t get much coverage in the mainstream press. The most fundamental questions about what the role of government ought to be are conspicuously absent, and it seems that both [...]]]></description>

		<title>Could the Sun Change Earth&#8217;s Climate?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are many scientists who claim that human emissions of carbon dioxide are warming the Earth through a greenhouse effect, but there is another camp of scientists who are pointing towards the heavens in the search for what drives the Earth&#8217;s climate. The Sun is the source of all energy for planet Earth, and ironically [...]]]></description>
