		<description><![CDATA[Stunning and brilliant! That is how I would describe the brave actions of the 3 Anzac Ploughshares activists who cut and collapsed one of the two domes hiding a spy satellite dish at the Government Communications Security Beureau (GCSB) at Waihopai.
These activists embody their Ploughshares principles of putting their words into actions, beating swords into ploughshares. Hence [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[National party blogger David Farrar posts on the recent media reports about poverty. Farrar claims if the top 50% of taxpayers declared bankruptcy, then because the poverty threshold is defined as 60% of the median wage, this would drop the poverty threshold to zero, and hence eliminate poverty!

Nice trick if you can do it, but [...]]]></description>

While &#8216;Pinetree&#8217; Meads has called for the guillotine for all NZRU administrators (no argument from me on that!), and NZ Herald columnist Paul Lewis wants privatisation to solve all woes, it is clear that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At least, it would be nice if hypocritical western governments would live up to such a threat. Instead, while western &#8216;leaders&#8217; decry human rights abuses by tinpot dictators like Zimbabwe&#8217;s Robert Mugabe, they seem blind to Chinese government murder of it&#8217;s own citizens in Malipo in Yunnan province.

Why? Conscious that there is a great deal of hypocrisy in the West slamming China for human rights abuses - when the US and UK are two [...]]]></description>

The Skins advertisement had a number of black athletes saying things like &#8220;If you look the way a black male is built, we&#8217;re more muscular, stronger. You want to be like [...]]]></description>
