		<description>&lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I can&#039;t help thinking that someone&#039;s being ironic there. Even the language smells of &lt;a href=&quot;http://quotations.about.com/cs/georgewbush/a/bls_bushisms.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Bushisms&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>&lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I just want you to know that by putting this obviously democratic, liberal shit online is really low. You and I both know that it looks like, because of the HIGHLY needed war with Iraq, the Bush administration only thinks short-term when in fact; if what they&#039;re doing wasn&#039;t done now, the odds could only get worse as to what could of happened or become of The United States of America.</description>

		<description>&lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We have built an econo-socio-political system so intricate and sophisticated that it is incredibly vulnerable.  This level of intellectual systems functioning requires accurate information and honest evaluations in formulating solutions.  Otherwise the system self-destructs.  It is not a natural system so it can&#039;t be left to nature.  It must be maintained by what created it, human intellect.The problem we have is that greed and the glorification of savage independence have so twisted our minds that those who are able to go right ahead and extort whatever they can get away with and horde it for themselves and their descendants.  This has of course always been the case, but the new worldwide econo-political system makes the situation far more thorough.  At the same time, you have all these educated victims who may be able to watch their own slow demise.So this is what we come down to, either 1) the people making choices within the system start making them with a goal of sustaining the system, something which requires they put back into the system resources that will then be shared and not just bleed it dry, or 2) we experience a world empire of oppression and inequality that makes ancient Rome look like a rotary club or 3) revolution redux.Any other options?  Any votes for preferences and likelihoods?</description>
