		<description><![CDATA[Why is it so hard to imagine a world without public schools? It's hard to imagine because it's part of your programming. You were brought up in public schooling and taught that you must have public schools. It's like most of society in the early 1800s, who couldn't comprehend how former slaves and former slave masters could live in the same society if slavery was abolished.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over Thanksgiving dinner, my brother and I began our normal debates of politics, war, health care, etc. This year was  a little different. I&#8217;ve always been the typical conservative, who believes the government is a necessary evil that wants to control us more and more with healthcare, welfare, net neutrality and on and on, but [...]]]></description>

The next logical step in controlling the cost of this &#8220;public service&#8221; will be controlling your eating habits. While I believe that people should pay for their eating habits via increased insurance premiums, I do not believe the government should [...]]]></description>

And people whine about lobbyists. Well, of course, big companies are going to send lobbyists to Washington. Don&#8217;t you want to get the favors?

For example, if Verizon's customer's traffic has to travel over Comcast's network to get to its destination, then that customer can be harmed even though they aren't a Comcast customer."
