		<description><![CDATA[Our medical system is in a troubled state.  We are all affected by the rising cost of health care, but there isn't any way to get around what should be obvious--somebody has to pay the bill.  Those who believe we can continue to get quality care without being charged for it, risk pain and suffering as they come to terms with the new reality. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Less than a century ago, women in The United States hadn&#8217;t yet been granted the right to vote.  Though it was allowed in some states, it wasn&#8217;t until 1920, when the constitution was amended, that women were guaranteed this right.  Without the ability to voice their viewpoints via the voting booth, perhaps our country would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Feminism was about redefining women, but in the process, it also served to redefine the role of males. The traditional roles of men and women were becoming more alike. In an effort to equalize apples and oranges, apples were required to develop thicker skins and more fiber, while experiments were conducted to see if oranges could be turned into applesauce.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New Year&#8217;s celebration is one of my favorites.  Though my own celebration of New Year&#8217;s eve is minimal, I am very fond of this holiday which starts loudly in one year and winds down quietly in the next. It isn&#8217;t a religious or memorial holiday, yet it has a thoughtful profundity and an illogical [...]]]></description>

There are many who seem to believe things like clean bathrooms, a good life or economic prosperity are spontaneous occurrences--things which happen in a vacuum for the benefit of all.]]></description>
