		<description><![CDATA[Isn’t there a saying that “familiarity is the breeding ground of all contempt for the law”? Maybe it was Machiavelli. Anyhow, I believe that familiarity also breeds contempt for civility and social order; courtesy and honor. In our short lifetimes, we have seen people traverse a vast behavioral spectrum – from a time when people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I read the stories of Japan’s post March 11 survivors, the ache in my heart grows and carves a very large hole in my soul – in particular, for the parents. I don’t know what I would do were I in this situation. I cannot fathom how a surviving parent can conjure the strength [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just watched the 1960 film Inherit the Wind, directed by Stanley Kramer based on a play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Lee. The story is the fictionalization of the 1925 &#8220;Scopes monkey trial&#8221; that pitted Darwin&#8217;s Theory of Evolution against The Bible. The final scene was the payoff for James Strickling. In that scene, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Print lingers because it still meets the basic marketing paradigm: it serves a useful purpose. I suppose there will come a day when 100 perfect bound pages of 80 pound gloss stock will be as rare as a rotary phone, but it hasn't happened yet. And if the stats are correct - it'll be quite a while yet before we will truly say that print is dead.]]></description>
