		<description><![CDATA[I just saw Michael Moore’s film, Sicko.   Talk about a depressing film.  But, there was a silver lining.  For those of you who haven’t seen the film, it explores the failure of the U.S. HMO medical system.  Moore demonstrates that those of us who are fortunate enough to have health care can end up in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am deeply troubled by the blatant hypocrisy of the Republican Party.  Shortly after Sarah Palin was selected as the Republican Party’s vice presidential candidate, it turns out that her 17-year old daughter is pregnant out of wedlock.  As soon as Palin announces that her daughter will be keeping the child and marrying the father [...]]]></description>

It also demonstrates the ever-expanding impact of violence and oppression. The article discusses the rise of violent behavior by [...]]]></description>
