		<description><![CDATA[War is a dirty business. Even the shortest, least bloody conflicts have lasting consequences: economic hardships, psychological damage and other reminders to our communities that some scars take longer than others to heal. We have not forgotten the effects of Agent Orange in Vietnam, a once-claimed benign defoliation chemical that created a variety of medical [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following letter was sent to the Kaukauna Common Council.

August 17, 2008
Common Council,
Salutations. I have never before addressed the Common Council with any concerns or suggestions, so if my approach is unorthodox, I offer my sincere apologies. I also apologize if my letter is rather weighty, as there are multiple issues I would like to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sent to the Post-Crescent August 18, 2008:
The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing are not only exciting and a good excuse to cheer on American athletes such as Nastia Liukin and Michael Phelps, but also offer a moral lesson concerning competition. Competition is at its healthiest when it is both friendly and self-improving.
When an athlete wants [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the list of the horror films I personally own. I provide it here in case anyone was interested in borrowing or trading films, or whatever.

		<description><![CDATA[While there are many distinctions that can be drawn between the communist Karl Marx and anarchist Mikhail Bakunin, for the sake of this essay we will be focusing on three. Whether one theorist or the other is correct &#8212; or perhaps neither is correct &#8212; is not to be decided here. Rather, I am merely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine waking up and finding military men walking the streets of your city. Would you find this even more disconcerting if these men were soldiers from another country &#8212; say, Iraq or Russia? Yet, for many nations throughout the world, seeing foreign soldiers is not out of the ordinary. America maintains active bases all over [...]]]></description>
