		<description><![CDATA[Well, I voted. I braved the rain, the cold slush, and all of everything else today to cast my vote for the person who I feel is less likely to destroy our country in the future. Neither Martha Coakley nor Scott Brown appealed to me as an ideal candidate for a state senator. Joe Kennedy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So on Tuesday, we&#8217;ve got a special election here in Massachusetts to fill the senate seat left by the late Ted Kennedy. Naturally, the primary candidates for the seat are a Republican &#8212; Scott Brown &#8212; and a Democrat &#8212; Martha Coakley. I&#8217;m very torn as to how I&#8217;m going to vote. Without revealing too much, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The United States Congress has betrayed its purpose: the representation of the ideals of its constituents is no longer a primary motive. Rather, the concerns of corporate entities, personal gain, and political favor have corrupted the work our government does and the general population is left to ponder the outcome and live in the aftermath.

I&#8217;m pretty sure it wasn&#8217;t supposed to be public, as I haven&#8217;t seen it since. I don&#8217;t know the author or to whom it&#8217;s addressed, but it&#8217;s obviously fairly recent and seems to be part of a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A number of people with whom I shared the Oath of an American Citizen balked a bit at me using the word &#8220;responsibility&#8221; in relation to when our government goes awry. Responsibility, their argument went, creates too much of a commitment and renders the pledge too harsh. A better word would be &#8220;right&#8221;, they said. [...]]]></description>

What I understand from my research so [...]]]></description>
