		<description><![CDATA[This is the worst case of journalism I&#8217;ve ever seen. The purpose of the article is obvious: paint Wal-Mart as big, greedy, evil and naughty-naughty. Let&#8217;s analyze what actually is going on.
The contract with Wal-Mart and the lady was that Wal-Mart doesn&#8217;t have to pay for your medical expenses if you get someone else to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of months ago, I was with a group of radical anti-capitalists. They thought that government was the answer to life, the universe and everything. They thought that businessmen secretly cheat on their wives and beat their children, whereas the poor starving individual was heroically beaten down by the brutal financial leaders. Maybe I&#8217;m [...]

Well, there&#8217;s so much that I want to say about all of the important things that make life what it is. Something [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I present a challenge to any Christian who believes that governments have more of a right to use violence than everyday citizens. I want you to point out a verse, somewhere in the New Testament, that gives government an /exclusive/ right that the citizenry don&#8217;t have. Then tell me exactly what that is, from the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I have really strange taste in music. I like Irish Punk, classic rock, classical music period, heavy, and pretty much everything in between. The following song by My Chemical Romance is one of my favorites. It&#8217;s about a man who&#8217;s on his deathbed, and is thinking back on his favorite memory, when his father took [...]

		<description><![CDATA[This is long, but it&#8217;s incredibly amazing. You need to watch it. A professor discovered that he only had a few months to live, and is prepared to deliver his last lecture. He doesn&#8217;t pout, or whine &#8212; he says he wants to have fun with the rest of his time on earth. Incredibly encouraging. [...]

I&#8217;m currently reading the book &#8220;Starving Jesus&#8221;, written by the guys at XXXChurch.com. These guys aren&#8217;t afraid of doing the right thing, even if it offends someone, or makes them go &#8220;omgosh! they talked about porn/sex/booze&#8221;. The book has been incredible so far, and the honesty that they write with is simply [...]
