<description><![CDATA[Clearly, there are some weapons that citizens shouldn't have around the house (fully automatic assault weapons come to mind). But a handgun? Give me a break! Does anyone seriously think this ban kept thugs from getting guns? In this regard, the bumper sticker is right: "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Gas prices are soaring. The stock market is tanking. The housing crisis shows no signs of letting up. The evidence of global warming is everywhere. Our military is stretched to the breaking point by two mismanaged wars still dragging on after years and years.

<description><![CDATA[At every moment of its existence, the human body is locked in a life-and-death struggle for survival. The enemies are silent, unseen and everywhere around us.

Toddlers scampered in makeshift playgroups, oblivious to the dangers above.

There was no luggage moving. There were no planes moving.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As the primary season nears a merciful end, the Clinton-Obama conflict is giving way to Obama-Clinton conjecture.
