		<description><![CDATA[A friend and I have been exchanging letters about climate change lately. I sent him a fairly detailed answer when he asked for my opinion about a certain video. My response started off as a criticism of the video itself, but quickly turned into a rant about how little trust people have for experts these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know what I hate? When someone takes a chance, and the world kicks them in the teeth for it. When someone pushes the boundaries a little, they should get credit for being creative. They shouldn't get beaten down by critics who are afraid to leave their own comfort zones. Especially when those critics are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We went to see Transformers 2 a while ago, and it was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long, long time. In fact, it was probably the worst "summer blockbuster" movie that I've ever seen. To be fair, the special effects were pretty cool, and that kept me interested for about 20 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, since political season is in full swing these days, I thought I'd share a particularly insightful article by Matt Taibi (from The Rolling Stone). It's about Sarah Palin, who'll become America's first female vice president in January, assuming John McCain wins the upcoming election. And if that happens, she might end up becoming America's [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the Internet, anyone can write any opinion that they want. And other people are free to really, really hate that opinion. So believe me when I say, I hate this article. It was clearly written by someone with a weak understanding of history and an unbelievably poor grasp of how world politics works. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I ran into an excellent article on Salon.com, called To Breed or Not To Breed. It's a few years old, but despite its title, it's actually a pretty balanced and informative opinion piece. This isn't the first time I've written a blog entry about the pros and cons of having children, though I do hope [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you listened to country music at all in the 90's, you've surely heard of The Dixie Chicks. To be honest, I've never liked their music enough to call myself a fan. In fact, for the longest time I was actually sure that the only band member with any talent was the lead singer, Natalie [...]]]></description>

I actually like quite a few of them, but it's hard to visit friends south of the border when you're totally scared of American customs agents. I've been told that my nervousness is nothing more than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ahhh...the sound of not-cheering is especially relaxing tonight. You see, this year the Oilers (that's Edmonton's hockey team) did particularly well in the annual North American hockey tournament, otherwise known as the Stanley Cup Playoffs. With each passing week, victory grew nearer and Oilers fans grew louder and crazier. Eventually, game nights were filled with [...]]]></description>
