		<title>Environmental Schism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Environmentalism, or Environmental– schism?
Mother Earth is worried.
The small minority of Her children who care deeply about Her are warring. The noble plans of one group vie with the dreams and visions of another. It is no longer us against them, rather, it has become us against us.  Schism arises.

		<title>Math Kills: a Public Service Announcement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Starting out, math always seems like fun and games.  “Just try it. If you don&#8217;t like it you can quit.” But math abuse has dangerous consequences:

Math damages the brain&#8217;s social communication cortex.
Math causes failing eyesight, hair loss, and metabolic changes- both corpulence and cachexia are associated.
Math addiction destroys relationships through loss of libido, isolationism [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amateurism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amateurism is funny just because it seems like it would have very little opportunity for use. Usually someone accuses another person of BEING an amateur, not of exhibiting amateuristic qualities or of displaying amateurism. It just seems funny that the word exists when there appears to be so little use for it.

		<title>Ism Quip: Bipedalism</title>

It&#8217;s bad enough to be caught fiddling with children once, but twice? Throw away the key I say.

		<title>Ism Quip: Dogmatism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dogmatism has dogged civilization since the first dog was a puppy. Dogmatism is dog gone hard to overcome, no matter how dogged one is in trying. Dogmatism is not our best ideological friend.

		<title>Meisms: life is damn interesting in this brain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I&#8217;ve got a brilliant mind because it never seems to stop thinking. 
I&#8217;ve always got things running through my head, whether it&#8217;s inane, ridiculous thoughts or introspective ideas seeking the basis for things I do. 
I&#8217;ve always thought this and I haven&#8217;t had much luck finding people that &#8216;play&#8217; as many games as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meisms: Short and Boring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Karen from Connecticut is getting wild and crazy with the Meism project:
Karen in CT: I graduated summa cum laude from my college!
Now, I must admit: your host I&#8217;M&#8217; most decidedly DID NOT graduate summa cum laude from college.  In fact, I was quite happy just to graduate!

Stretching forth my fingers, I touched the ground and for a moment held the entire world in the palm of my hand. 
I am me, and if I wasn&#8217;t me and I saw me from across the room I would want to meet me. And once I had, would long to [...]]]></description>

But I&#8217;m so smart, I&#8217;m writing a book about what it takes to be successful in Life!
