		<description><![CDATA[In Florida, there has been an ongoing problem with our voting system ever since the 2000 presidential election. It seems the first attempt to fix this was the proliferation of electronic voting systems that would ostensibly eliminate the questionable punch-card results. While we should be able to avoid the dreaded hanging chad, it appears Congress [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most developed countries offer a form of universal health care, the only real exception to this is the United States. Today, Barack Obama offered another solution to universal health care for Americans, but will this succeed where others have failed?

Probably not. It is not the responsibility of a government to ensure health care coverage any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our educational system is in dire need of repair. Over the past thirty years we have more than doubled our per-pupil expenditures, and we now spend an average of $8,996 per child compared to to 1971 when we were spending an average of $4,479 (Stupider in America). Unfortunately, we are graduating fewer students today than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Bush gave a State of the Union speech that could easily be misconstrued as rhetoric from a re-election campaign pulpit.
Unfortunately, by focusing on platform issues and defending his military actions, the President failed to demonstrate a clear vision of leadership. It seems evident he is overly concerned that his military engagement in Iraq is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This history of war has been traditionally a bi-partisan effort, where there are at least two distinct sides fighting against each other. Unfortunately, the history of the war against terrorism is slightly less well defined.
The litany of finger pointing at various terror cells and terrorist organizations is almost as pervasive as the number of standing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While we consider the escalated war against terrorism that America is prepared to engage in, we should carefully profile our new enemies in these matters.
Afghanistan has been principal in these issues. The US media has reported that the Afghan government is responsible for harboring these fugitives of terrorism, and even our President has confirmed these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the twilight of our greatest terror, America stands poised for a sustained military conflict against an elusive enemy. There is no doubt that the horrors of this Tuesday will be eternally engrained in our memories, but we should temper our angst with introspection of these events.
More importantly, understanding the essence of this evil is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s surprising the number of people who do not understand queuing protocol. This is the relatively standard technique for waiting at a commercial establishment to order or purchase something.
For example, waiting in a line at a famous fast food restaraunt you would expect the majority of people would stand behind others who were waiting before [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Grocery shopping should be a relatively straightforward task. One can imagine picking up fruits and vegitables, followed closely thereafter with some dairy products and a cold farm-grown chicken.
Unfortunately, arriving at the bread isle is a recipe for disaster. This is the age old quandry of getting enough hotdog buns to support the hots dogs available [...]]]></description>
