		<description><![CDATA[A true story. It was late afternoon, and clouds had been building from the northwest all day. The heat from the Oklahoma plains had pushed the clouds high earlier in the day, but what had once been a mass of white thunderheads had become a low-lying jumble of gray and black clouds.

		<description><![CDATA[I am not happy with our society and the values that it seems to promote.  Everyday I read about new military efforts around the world, and of course, new &#8216;terrorist&#8217; action.  (By the way, when I say &#8216;terrorist&#8217;, if you hear &#8216;CIA&#8217;, I understand.)  I keep thinking about the amount of money the US spend [...]]]></description>
