		<description><![CDATA[Medication for mental illness at the alarming rate it is being prescribed is nothing more than dangerous mind candy. Mind candy that cannot effectively address most challenges in mental illness. If one pathologizes mental illness in the narrow and rigid ways of psychiatry and its pseudo-science then one might want to fall in line with the illusion that pills are the long-sought after cure-all. However, they are not any cure-all whatsoever.

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever spent hours trying to decide how to proceed with a project you’ve been working on? Probably most of us could nod our heads in agreement. Yet start explaining your problem to someone else and suddenly your next steps become obvious. That simple act of discussion seems to trigger ideas.

		<description><![CDATA[We are currently on the cusp of the old world and a new cultural frontier. The present generation of parents were raised with the old values that led Americans and Canadians to the forefront of modern civilization. But are we currently going backwards as a culture and a civilization? The effect of media on our values is increasing and not for the better.

		<description><![CDATA[There is a story about a farmer who owns a buffalo. Not knowing that the buffalo is in its stable, the farmer goes off to search for it, thinking it has strayed from home. Starting off on his search, he sees many different buffalo footprints outside his yard. The footprints of buffalo are everywhere! The farmer then thinks, "Which way did my buffalo go?" He decides to follow one set of tracks and they lead him up into the high mountains, but he doesn't find his buffalo there. Then he follows another set of footprints that lead way down to the ocean. However, when he reaches the ocean, he still doesn't find his buffalo. His buffalo is not in the mountains or at the beach. Why? Because it is back home in the stable in his yard.

		<description><![CDATA[Karen Casey's book, Cultivating Hope,  is a wonderful and hopeful book about how an individual can live a life that is fearless and meaningful at a time when such virtues are so difficult to find. We live in a very troubled time, socially, personally and financially. This is why Casey's book is so important for us today. Casey also comes from a troubled background. All she really wanted out of life was for others to change. This, she thought, would ensure her security. However, she later discovered that she was the one who had to change. Although this was difficult for her to accept at first, she did keep trying to open up to the idea that if she didn't change, nothing else would either.

		<description><![CDATA[At a time when discourse about religion seems polarized between fideistic theism and reductive secularism, Klemm and Schweiker provide an imaginative 'third way,' in the form of a robust theological humanism that draws on and transforms the rich resources of theological and humanistic traditions. Ours is a time when cultures and religions creatively interact but also often collide, and human power increasingly endangers forms of life while great technological advances enable us to better relieve suffering.

		<description><![CDATA[There is a central importance to critique groups for writers. The world of a writer can often be an isolated one. Writers, like everyone else in life generally, will benefit from balanced feedback about their writing. Being a part of a critique group, as a writer, can really improve the quality of your writing.

		<description><![CDATA[What did I used to do with myself before I got a computer? Did I really have a life with hobbies and activities of my own? How did I ever manage? The thought of going away and not being online for a day or two is almost too much for me to imagine. Does it matter that most of the email I get is advertising or forwards of a joke that has been passed on way too often? Don't I realize that the chain letter that promises wealth and happiness if I send it to ten people is really a waste of my time? Don't I know that my dishes are piled in the sink and the dust is gathering around my feet? Can I not see that my clock says one a.m. and I need to get up at six?

		<description><![CDATA[Does the media create a cult of the amateur? It would seem that the media insists that the consumer know as little as possible about the products that they are selling. The media is supposed to inform and educate the general public yet they seem to control how much and what people know at all times.

		<description><![CDATA[The media is versed at making us feel so inadequate that we start doubting our beliefs and values after a while. This is really detrimental since we already have such a difficult time to think for ourselves and to assert ourselves. So what the media does is to keep eroding our already vulnerable and, in some cases, fragmented self.

		<description><![CDATA[We are currently in the innovation age as demonstrated by the fact that humankind's knowledge is doubling every ten years, and probably more so in technology. America can thrive in an age like this. Why? Let me give you ten good reasons. America is a nation of immigrants who came here for a better life for the most part. Therefore they have the genes to initiate changes in business, education, computers, the Internet and practically all the fields of human endeavor that require reason.

		<description><![CDATA[To use Twitter or not, that is the question.  It seems that every time I turn around, someone is mentioning Twitter. People ask me what Twitter is, television shows ask for viewers to send in their Twitter comments, and businesses wonder how Twitter can help their profits. Instead of a short-lived fad, Twitter is becoming an important part of our modern lives. So should you be using Twitter?

		<description><![CDATA[Here in Canada we are a proud people with a wonderful country in so many ways. Yet, we often don't speak about. We certainly don't brag about it. We often celebrate all that it means to be Canadian and be blessed enough to live in the majestic mosiac that is the pulsating heart of all that Canada is and exemplifies. The Vancouver Olympics, unfolding now, and specifically the opening ceremonies, reminded this Canadian just how vibrant and alive my pride in Canada is. Hopefully it has reminded all of us that we have so much to be proud about.

		<description><![CDATA[Once an individual starts writing, its almost impossible for him/her to stop. Writing becomes a person's passion, joy and compulsion. A serious  writer writes at the bus stop, in the dentist's office, in cafe‚'s, as well as on beaches, in lonely woods, at his computer, and sometimes even in bed. Some writers begin as hobbyists or recreational writers, jotting down ideas after work or on the weekends when they have a free hour. They may find themselves spending more and more time at the writing venture until they think about it most of the day.
