		<description><![CDATA[In light of the current Congressional impasse over federal government subsidies of student loan interest rates, it would seem to be a prophetic fulfillment of the statement that “they have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right” (Occupy Wall Street Declaration, NYC General [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The upcoming presidential election pits openly and directly two conflicting visions for the future. The Republicans, verified by the Ryan Budget endorsed by Romney, would reduce government spending and limit social programs which have defined the American way of life since FDR. They would do so at the expense of middle-class Americans. At the same [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was informed at the February 16 meeting of the Broadway Flushing Homeowners’ Association that the Citywide Community Affairs Officer of the NYC Department of Sanitation, Ignazio Terranova, reviewed the rules and regulations regarding garbage collection. Citizens may be fined if they place garbage out for pick up before 4 p.m. from October to March [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With all of the problems that teachers in today&#8217;s classrooms have to deal with, they certainly do not need to be constantly lambasted by the media. Most, if not all, teachers are very hardworking, dedicated, and very professional in their everyday dealings with students, parents and administrators. Teachers work very hard to help each and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently many of the crew aboard the cruise ship Costa Concordia, which grounded off the coast of Tuscany, attempted to save their own lives without trying to help others. That sort of selfish conduct is in direct contrast to what happened aboard the RMS Titanic 100 years ago. After that ship struck an iceberg, its [...]]]></description>

While the Cold War may be over, the possibility of nuclear war between the United States and Russia still very much exists. Do not think for one moment that both countries still do not have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems to me that Congressmember Bob Turner&#8217;s standing with others to raise thousands of dollars for the family of slain Police Officer Peter Figoski might soften his views against gun control.  I implore him to stand with Congressmember Carolyn McCarthy to ban the sale of extended capacity ammunition magazines.  Extending background checks on purchases [...]]]></description>

He has been outspoken on important issues like same-sex marriage, abortion, Catholic education and family values. He has not been afraid to speak his mind, communicates from his [...]]]></description>

Enduring the ridicule of disappointed customers is one of the prices of being a leader, even in the absence of control. President Barack Obama justifiably deserves the [...]]]></description>
