		<description><![CDATA[A book review.
Scandal is the title of the novel written by Endo Shusaku in 1986. Its setting is modern Tokyo, centered around the Yoyogi-Harajuku area.
The way Endo describes Yoyogi, Harajuku and Shinjuku in the eighties is just as I remembered it. In 1986, Yoyogi and Shibuya were my main  playgrounds. For that reason, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

In the physical, I took barium sulfate and they used [...]]]></description>

That would be an incorrect assumption. Both the Liberals and the Conservatives, at this point in American politics, are collectivist. They both want to impose morality on the individual. To describe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another book review.
I took a break from the overtly political and philosophical books.
Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe, is cited in many a political treatise. Jean-Jacques Rousseau thought it the most valuable of all books for education. He went so far as to say:
There exists one book, which, to my taste, furnishes the happiest treatise of [...]]]></description>

Manifesto of the Communist Party by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
It is supposedly one of the most influential political statements in the history of political society. I seriously doubt it. I think the concept of communism  has been influential. The basic principle of communism is equality. That principle has spawned a lot [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s go crazy and define freedom fighter as a person who fights for freedom. If that&#8217;s not wacky, I don&#8217;t know what is. (OED doesn&#8217;t offer a definition.)
Let&#8217;s define terrorist as a person who a person who attempts to further his views by a system of coercive intimidation (OED).

Believing, Asserting and Burden of Proof

If somebody says to me, &#8220;I think its bad luck to walk under a ladder&#8220;, I’d think it odd. I wouldn’t, however, demand proof.
If somebody asserted, “It is bad luck to walk under ladders, and this is a reasonable position”, I would demand proof.
Why?? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we discussed previously, there are varied definitions of atheism.
Today I&#8217;d like to discuss the topic as it relates to the atheist burden of proof. (Read the comments there by Dave Walker - they are the reason for this post.)
Basically, if atheism asserts that there is no God, atheists assume burden of proof for that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a huge fan of theology, or religion, or atheist dogmas. I&#8217;m not a fan of dishonest theories propped up by feeble dogmas and fallacy.
One philosophical question, however, does intrigue me. It&#8217;s called the &#8220;Problem of Evil&#8221;, also known as the Epicurean paradox.
