		<description><![CDATA[Three states passed bans on gay marriage in the national election a few days ago. Regardless of where you fall on gay rights&#8217; issues and the definition of marriage, this should frighten you because it is, plain and simple, the beginning of theocracy. Neo-Christian fascism. Sieg heil, Fred Phelps.
I was so livid about this for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I grew up Christian (I&#8217;m now an atheist, or more specifically, an anti-theist). This didn&#8217;t mean back then what it has come to mean today. I wasn&#8217;t taught we were being persecuted because public schools didn&#8217;t include a Christian prayer, and fuck the non-Christian kids who had to sit through it politely. I wasn&#8217;t taught [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night I watched the presidential debate. One of the questions was (paraphrasing): do you see healthcare as a right, a responsibility or something else I&#8217;ve forgotten. McCain said responsibility (of the government to make sure affordable healthcare exists) and Obama said it was a right for people to have healthcare.
I see it differently. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s ugly to talk in generalizations about generations, so let me say right up front that every generation contains the same variety of human beings. You can&#8217;t even argue that they have shared experience, because your experience of a world event or a place or a time varies according to your assets, your &#8220;place&#8221; in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While it shouldn&#8217;t be a privilege to escape abuse in this life, there are trappings of privilege for those who have been so lucky. I know it&#8217;s an odd thing to say, and it&#8217;s a realization I&#8217;ve been slowly moving toward since childhood, but it works like this:

		<description><![CDATA[I just got notice that my landlord is raising my rent by $500 (after a $130 increase just this February, and an increase every year since my lease expired and he refused to renew it). Interestingly, this is above market value for what the building offers. This is an increase well in excess of 25%. [...]]]></description>
