		<description><![CDATA[Portugal had a serious drug problem &#8212; and in 2001 they tried something unusual to solve it. Now, nine years later, there are some very interesting results.

Their solution costs TONS less than the conventional approach &#8212; e.g. America&#8217;s vote-buying &#8220;War on Drugs&#8221;
The Portugal decriminalization approach has reduced drug usage and drug-related violence
They demonstrated how CONTROL [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just discovered Edgar Guest. Where has he been all these years?

It Couldn&#8217;t Be Done
Somebody said that it couldn&#8217;t be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That &#8220;maybe it couldnt,&#8221; but he would be one
Who wouldn&#8217;t say so till he&#8217;d tried.

On his face. If he worried [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s one of the keystones to my high school curriculum. It&#8217;s The Incredible Bread Machine, a video by Karl Keating, Susan Love Brown, Patrea Post and Stuart Smith &#8212; inspired by Richard Grant&#8217;s epic poem of the same name. (An abbreviated rendition of the poem starts at 30:34 into the film &#8212; we would recite [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Consider one of the greatest speeches of all time, Lincoln&#8217;s Gettysburg Address. It&#8217;s short, and it packs a whallop. Abe had something to say, and he found a concise way to say it.
So when I find an article that&#8217;s concise and meaningful, and &#8212; better yet &#8212; focuses on communicating, well, I&#8217;ve got to encourage [...]]]></description>

So it turns out that the scientists, you know, the folks who published all the alarming hoo-hah about global warming? Well, they selected which data to include in (and exclude from) their study, which makes the scientificity very suspect.

The book was originally published in 1938, at the end of America&#8217;s Great Depression. Andrew Carnegie had commissioned Hill to interview hundreds of movers-and-shakers, from Ford and Edison to Wrigley [...]]]></description>

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that the English language is as pure as a crib-house whore. It not only borrows words from other languages; it has on occasion chased other languages down dark alley-ways, clubbed them unconscious and rifled their pockets [...]]]></description>
