		<title>Quote About The Meaning of Liberty</title>

		<title>Why Activism Matters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When political activists engage in discussions with sympathetic non-activists, we often encounter the idea that all the work of protesting injustice, educating the public, and agitating for change is futile in the face of the monolithic weight of social inertia and elite power structures.

		<title>They&#8217;re Like Insects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;They&#8217;re like insects&#8221;.
Thus spoke a man that I overheard several months ago who was describing homeless people to a group of his peers.

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I&#8217;ve been frequently seeing people refer to Obama as a socialist and making accusations that the new stimulus package amounts to socialism and that the new administration has a &#8220;socialist agenda&#8221;. Cafe Press is filled with &#8220;clever&#8221; t-shirts where people have juxtaposed Obama&#8217;s face with that of figures such as Marx, Lenin, and Mao.

		<title>Why Christians Should Not Vote Republican Part I: Abortion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many Christians in America align themselves with the Republican party. Once upon a time, I was among their number, but after a renewed commitment to my faith, I found that the more I studied and understood my faith, the more my old conservative ideology crumbled away.

		<title>The Wasted Vote</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, my mother and aunt were discussing the bailout bill and the elections. They are both Obama supporters although my mother traditionally supports Republicans.
