		<title>Some Logical Arguments Against CCTV Expansion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a nice opinion piece on CNN.com today about why expanding the use of CCTV surveillance cameras is a bad idea.  Take a read if you&#8217;re so inclined.  I don&#8217;t even know why the argument needs to be made &#8211; it seems obvious to me that part of being a proud American is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Patriot Act Continues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sigh&#8230;if you needed more proof that the two party political system has merged into one party that spends all its time screaming at itself, all you have to do is check the news.  Apparently all the folks on the left who screamed and yelled about the Patriot Act and how it trashes personal privacy [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sweet Smell of Suing Your Neighbors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Say you&#8217;re a woman with a history of asthma.  Say you&#8217;re looking to buy a condo.  Say the condo you love smells like cigarette smoke, something that you probably don&#8217;t like if for no other reason than you have a history of asthma.  You ask your real estate guy why it smells [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Little Tea Party Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Check out this editorial on the Detroit News site.  The author, John Samples (of CATO.org, a Libertarian think-tank), urges the largely decentralized Tea Party organization not to fall under the GOP&#8217;s banner but to, instead, remain independent and focused on their goals.  I agree.  This isn&#8217;t about party politics (even if most [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big Brother in the UK</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is this kind of thinking what we&#8217;re in store for in the United States?  I hope people are a little more protective of their privacy and less supportive of invasive governmental/police practices, but I don&#8217;t have a lot of hope.  The idea that there are hidden cameras (which the police refuse to identify) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nanny State Example</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you want proof that Massachusetts is a nanny state?  Well how about the recently enacted law from the Department of Early Education and Care that requires that any child in a MA-licensed daycare who eats a meal or is there for more than four hours must brush his or her teeth?  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tax on &#8220;Cadillac&#8221; Health Care Plans Will Hit Middle Class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yet another reason the current Health Care bill is dangerously flawed is that the tax on so-called &#8220;Cadillac&#8221; health-care plans isn&#8217;t going to impact just the wealthy (the favorite target of liberals) but the middle-class as well (who liberals say they care about).  Hell&#8230;even the Boston Globe is reporting on this.  I know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brown vs. Coakley Continued</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I noticed something interesting on my ride up to the RMV and my subsequent ride to work this morning: I didn&#8217;t see a single Martha Coakley sign.  I saw dozens and dozens of Scott Brown signs.  I like that.
Once I got into work, I checked my email and saw another from MoveOn.Org about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brown, Coakely, MoveOn.Org and the MA Senate Race</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During a recent debate, the moderator asked Republican contender, Scott Brown, about sitting in &#8220;Ted Kennedy&#8217;s seat&#8221; (Massachusetts&#8217; vacant Senate seat). What did Brown have to say to that?
“&#8230;it is not Ted Kennedy’s seat, it is not the Democrats’ seat, it is the people of Massachusetts’ seat.”
If you needed a reason to vote for Scott [...]]]></description>
