		<title>Freedom Activist Dave Ridley Arrested</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning in Keene, NH, freedom activist Dave Ridley was arrested.  Although I don&#8217;t have much information available at this time, it appears that he was arrested for attempting to perform his Constitutionally protected journalistic duties in the courtroom at the trial of marijuana activist Andrew Carroll.  More information will be available from Free Keene [...]]]></description>

		<title>Logan to Become Unfeasible as Means of Transportation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a resident of New Hampshire who depends on Boston when I need to fly, it chagrins me to hear that the city of Boston is aiming to purposefully make Logan a non-functioning airport via carbon fees.  It already bothered me to think that I&#8217;d need to do business in the communist haven of Massachusetts [...]]]></description>

		<title>The True Meaning of Irony (When Liberals Attack)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In this day and age, the word &#8220;irony&#8221; has lost it&#8217;s value as a lexical item.   It&#8217;s misused in popular culture and by all but the best educated scholars.  No, rain on your wedding day isn&#8217;t ironic.  That&#8217;s just crappy weather.  Snow on your global warming protest day (during which you&#8217;re probably planning to prance [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Pot REALLY That Bad?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was stumbling the internet today and came across an editorial from the San Fransisco Chronicle which, beleive it or not, actually makes the case that perhaps it&#8217;s time for the United States to grow up and get over their silly War on a Plant.  It&#8217;s well written and I give kudos to the newspaper [...]]]></description>

		<title>Service Versus Servitude</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a push on the part of some politicians to institute a national service program that would make all young people serve in whatever capacity the government approves. I&#8217;ve heard the pitch being made that the government should give young people the &#8220;opportunity&#8221; to serve their country, but this doesn&#8217;t make a whole lot [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama&#8217;s &#8216;Climate Czar&#8217; Literally a Socialist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Barack Obama has appointed former EPA administrator Carol Browner as his adviser on energy and climate change, the so called &#8216;climate czar&#8217;. Browner was listed as one of 14 leaders on the website of Socialist International, supposedly working for &#8220;a sustainable world society&#8221;. The people at SI are died in the wool Marxists who believe [...]]]></description>

		<title>Calling Israel Out for Aggression</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the United States, it has not been politically popular to criticize the state of Israel for the tactics it uses against the Palestinians, no matter how deplorable those tactics are. After all, we are led to believe that all the blame for the unrest in the middle east lies with Islamic extremist groups like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy New Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hope that the readers of Happily Oblivious are enjoying the first day of a brand new year, or at least not suffering too bad from all the booze they had last night.
I hope that 2009 will be a better year than 2008, but I&#8217;m not certain that will be the case. I&#8217;ve heard a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slavery Is Still Here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I ran across this article that came out several months ago and it caught me off guard. I spend a lot of time blogging and doing activism to promote freedom and liberty, but even I was under the impression that chattel slavery had essentially been wiped out. However as I write this there are people [...]]]></description>

		<title>The War Isn&#8217;t Over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the inauguration of a new president just weeks away and the expected draw down of US combat forces in Iraq over the next couple of years, many Americans seem to be mistakenly under the impression that the US is coming back to a peacetime footing. The United States has been on a war footing [...]]]></description>
