		<description><![CDATA[I consider myself a Libertarian idealist. I have not always been so, but the older I get, the more I yearn for a world that is truly free. I don&#8217;t think that I am alone in having these feelings, many people that I talk to have them as well. When my brother introduced me to Ron Paul, five [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I may as well admit it, I have opinions... lots and lots of opinions. In the recent past, my opinions were both and asset and a liability. Professionally, people sought my opinions... they paid me good money for them. Personally, I was a person that many people came to for advice on relationships, issues of faith and life in general. I think I got that from my dad, who was a natural problem-solver.]]></description>

Beginning this weekend I am on a two week unscripted road trip with my old buddy Avery which has no destination, for certain, other than as close as we can legally get to Area 51.

		<description><![CDATA[A MacGuffin is a plot element that catches the viewers&#8217; attention or drives the plot of a work of fiction. The MacGuffin is common in films, especially thrillers. Usually, though not always, the MacGuffin is the central focus of the film in the first act, and then declines in importance as the struggles and motivations [...]]]></description>

It would probably be a coming of age story about a child who didn&#8217;t fit in, who overcame challenges and had grand adventures. I would put in all the good parts.

I have voted since the age of 18 and I have been a part of two political campaigns in my lifetime&#8211;but today, politics is just plain crazy.

We were knee deep in a conversation about living life when he mentioned a friend and something that he found incredibly frustrating about him. The conversation had steered curiously to the way the some people live, or rather, [...]]]></description>
