		<title>Education</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As long ago as the first few years of the nineteenth century it was a subject for government complaint that the ordinary people had become literate&#8230; Far from subsidising literacy, the early nineteenth-century English governments placed severe taxes on paper in order to discourage the exercise of the public&#8217;s reading and writing abilities. Yet despite [...]]]></description>

		<title>Police, Brutality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are encouraged to think of acts of police violence more or less in isolation, to consider them as unique, unrelated occurrences&#8230; The danger of the job is a constant theme in the defense of police violence&#8230; Between 1995 and 2000, 360 cops were murdered and 403 died in [car] accidents&#8230; Naturally it is not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Civil Rights, Affirmative Action, Racism, Women&#8217;s Liberation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thomas Sowell is an African American Ph.D. economist from Stanford University.
Civil rights are fundamental to a free society and to human dignity. Their blatant denial to many, but especially to blacks in the South, was for too long a mockery of American ideals&#8230; The poisonous atmosphere surrounding any attempt to debate issues involving race and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Parents heavily influence their kids in many ways; they see it with their own eyes. Their mistake is to assume that their influence lasts a lifetime, instead of fading out as kids grow up&#8230; Twin and adoption studies find that the long-run effects of parenting are shockingly small. As long as you don&#8217;t do anything [...]]]></description>

		<title>The American Civil War</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The total killed on both sides &#8212; 620,000, with an additional 400,000 wounded &#8212; would rank the conflict as the bloodiest in all of United States history&#8230; Many deaths had no grandeur at all. Just as in previous wars, disease &#8212; not enemy fire &#8212; was the primary killer. While 140,000 Union soldiers perished as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Excellently Observed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;&#8230; To experience all the miseries through which every one of us has passed, or to remain here doing nothing?&#8221; &#8220;This,&#8221; said Candide, &#8220;is a grand question.&#8221; &#8230; Martin in particular concluded that man was born to live either in the convulsion of misery, or in the lethargy of boredom. Candide did not agree, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bicycle Safety</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About 700 bicyclists die every year in the U.S., and increased helmet usage has not reduced rates of death or head injuries.
Millions of parents take it as an article of faith that putting a bicycle helmet on their children, or themselves, will help keep them out of harm&#8217;s way. But new data on bicycle accidents [...]]]></description>

		<title>Always Look on the Bright Side of Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hence it is that, though in every age everybody knows that up to his own time progressive improvement has been taking place, nobody seems to reckon on any improvement during the next generation. We cannot absolutely prove that those are in error who tell us that society has reached a turning point, that we have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marxism, Exploitation, Class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, I will present a series of theses that constitute the&#8230; Marxist theory of history. I claim that all of them are essentially correct. Then I will show how these true theses are derived in Marxism from a false starting point&#8230;
Let me begin with the&#8230; Marxist belief system:
