		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I’m not very versed in the wonderful world of astrophysics. It is something I am avidly reading but I don’t expect it to ever be a topic I feel I’m an expert in. Tonight before I begin my vacation I wanted to leave you, whoever you are, with a few fleeting thoughts.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; So I’ve been thinking about amnesia as of late. Partially because it is a strong facet of the protagonist in my story (very original I know) and because in my own life I’ve experienced it. I’m not melodramatic about it, I look at the experience as more of one married with fascination.
&#160; This will  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I’m a big fan of philosophy, I am not a “believer”, nor ever will I be. The following article is one half of the puzzle as to why. Obviously I will never see the purpose, personally, in faith and certainly not in religion, the emotional and physical benefits of either are equally found in merely  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Basically anyone who has read an article about politics has seen an astounding statement of just how “Out of Touch” the politicians involved are. When people talk about the efficiency of businesses versus government run operations there is a distinct separation of the two. As if there is some  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I’ve been on a journey of sorts through my life, to prove to folks that likely nothing is black and white. Now honestly, could something like “How many people are you?” be that complicated of a question? I mean obviously, you are one person, I am one person, it seems so simple.

One thing in particular is the idea of ‘thinking before you speak’. For the vast majority of people I do think there is a level of thought always joined  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; As was spoken of briefly in the last update I find it extremely unusual that fair trade is an opt-in system. Essentially it is universally agreed in this country that all companies are treating anyone possible poorly unless otherwise specified. It would seem more reasonable to have all companies  [...]]]></description>
