		<title>Atlas Shrugged and Conformity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I first read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand about 40 years ago. At the time, in my youth, after having read the book, I was both ecstatic and depressed.

		<title>Environmental Questions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do not consider myself an environmentalist at least not in the sense of a torch bearing gun-toting advocate.

		<description><![CDATA[There is daily coverage of the 2009 Health Care Reform Bill pros and cons. The coverage is incessant and well it should be. It will change our lives. However, there is a fundamental question that is ignored, what about the Constitution? Very recently, Speaker of the House Pelosi was asked by CNS News, &#8220;&#8230; where [...]]]></description>

		<title>America Is a Democracy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I suspect you have an answer to this question- &#8220;Is America a Democracy?&#8221; I further suspect that you have answered in the affirmative. Well you are, unfortunately, WRONG. The United States of America is a Republic. That is right. I said a republic.
