		<title>Health cannot be considered in a vacuum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You shouldn’t have to have insurance to get medical attention. President Obama is correct in thinking that any modern democracy has to offer its citizens health care whatever their income or level of insurance. There is widespread opposition to his plans and debates about how the money should be raised to pay for such healthcare. [...]]]></description>

		<title>There are a lot of stressed kids in our schools</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of stressed kids in our schools. According to a recent survey 44% of children feel stressed about how well they are doing in school. The real question is who causes that stress? Is it parents pushing them beyond their ability. Is it teachers pressurising them to do well in exams? Do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Halloween has become almost as commercialised as Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Halloween has become almost as commercialised as Christmas. Children won’t play Trick or Treat unless they have appropriate costumes. Every store has hats and brooms for witches. Every home that has children has to be decorated too. There’s no need to ask, ”Is there a ghost in the house?” because at least one of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>They painted pictures with words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wordsworth’s poem entitled The Daffodils is probably the one that always comes to mind in spring when the countryside is festooned with glorious trumpets of yellow. In autumn we remember Keats words, “Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.” Hadn’t those poets a wonderful way of describing nature and what it meant to them? They painted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter Wonderland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The nights are getting darker
The evenings drawing in
Winter’s just upon us
Let’s take it on the chin
Because, you see, it’s party time
When we go on the town
Dressed up for the function
In an evening suit or gown.
There’ll be toasts to the ladies
Carry on that leads to Hades
Dancing the whole night through
Votes of thanks to speakers too
Forget the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Veteran’s Day is fast approaching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Veteran’s Day is fast approaching and with it will come the sound of marching feet, barked commands and utter silence. Flags will fly at half mast and those present will remember and salute the dead. Amongst them will be the veterans of war, those who survived the carnage. Some will have been badly injured, others [...]]]></description>

		<title>Robert Burns night is not until January</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Robert Burns night is not until January but already Scots are organising the haggis, tasting the usice beatha and pressing their kilts. They fully intend doing great justice to the Bard and all his works. Scotland is not the biggest country in the world but in terms of celebrations they certainly know to party. Wherever [...]]]></description>

		<title>President Obama - Does he deserve that peace prize?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize must make people question how a President considering sending more troops to Afghanistan qualifies for such a prize. Whatever about that at a more local level there are plenty of people who really deserve their awards. Take the teacher of the year awards for instance. What they do may not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Terrorism - Are we fanning the flames?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Terrorism - Are we fanning the flames? That’s the question that President Obama must ask himself before agreeing to send even more troops to Afghanastan. The army may say they need more troops on the ground but are they already driving more Afghans into the arms of the militants? What benefit will there be from [...]]]></description>

		<title>What are you going to wear when giving your speech?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What are you going to wear when giving your speech? Obviously if it is a military occasion you will be wearing your uniform while at a posh wedding you will be something glamorous if you are a woman or perhaps formal wear if you are a man. Then too if you are accepting a prize [...]]]></description>
