		<description><![CDATA[The short explanation is such: my life has gotten too busy for me to easily keep up with friends and family, much less write a weekly blog. Therefore, I am putting this on hiatus until things calm down and I can once again concentrate on writing.
The long explanation isn&#8217;t worth getting into.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently had dinner with a group of friends and while there, talked with an elderly gentleman. He was the sort of person who said what was on his mind, and never pulled punches about his true thoughts on matters. It&#8217;s one of the stock characters: the old grandfather who has an opinion on everything [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is the day Americans celebrate their independence from Britain. The choice of date is a little odd, seeing as the actual resolution declaring independence (the Lee Resolution) was passed on July 2nd, and the Declaration of Independence was signed on August 2nd. (Although in all fairness, the declaration was adopted on July 4th).

		<description><![CDATA[Any statement that inspires anger in those who hear it is worth investigating. If the statement were actually True, then the cold weight of facts should be sufficient to demonstrate its verity.
I imagine that statement is autological.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently stumbled upon this YouTube video, which is of Steve Jobs first presentation at MacWorld after having been hired back into Apple. It&#8217;s been eleven years since then, and it&#8217;s interesting to watch it purely in terms of history.
Just a few thoughts:

		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I&#8217;ve experienced &#8220;training&#8221; in the past on how to respect differences in culture, it&#8217;s always Europe-descended American culture that must make allowances to the other culture. In literature, it&#8217;s always the white American who learns to appreciate black/Asian/Indian/whatever culture, and never the other way around.
Shouldn&#8217;t the other culture have to make allowances back, if [...]]]></description>
