		<title>What&#8217;s In It For Them (Wifm)?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had quite a bit of drama in the household a few evenings ago. Isabella, newly installed into the 2nd grade, expected some family and neighborhood lay-downs when she started pitching magazine subscriptions for the annual contest. Apparently, depending on how many subscriptions you sell, and how much money you collect in a two-week period of time, [...]]]></description>

		<title>est Away the Weight on Your Shoulders</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember, years ago, taking the est training. It was way back and certainly within the first decade of its infancy. I can remember any number of takeaways and many stay with me today. As a matter of fact, I can probably say that the primary life drivers for my perception of reality today came [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reality and Illusions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Suffering requires the peeling away of the illusions we have about reality. Reality is the constant. Reality doesn’t change. What changes through our life&#8217;s experiences is the stripping away of our illusions about reality.  In the process, we need to be left with reality; not with illusions about it.]]></description>

		<title>Are the John Birchers Dead?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know, it didn’t occur to me until I read Peggy Noonan’s column a couple of Saturday&#8217;s ago in the Wall Street Journal that the John Birchers are apparently dead. Fresh out of law school, I remember debating the Chairman of the John Birch Society in Florida back in the years that mattered. He was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avoiding Personal Cliches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It occurred to me that, at a certain point in one&#8217;s life, you go from crafting your own originality in your earlier younger years to being concerned about being trapped by that originality years later. It&#8217;s as if the early originality becomes your personal prison if you can&#8217;t break free of it later. The French cuffs and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Charismatic Leader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had an interesting conversation yesterday with two intelligent female professionals in a business consulting firm in town who had come over to chat with me a little bit about a particular company who had retained them to put together a detailed strategic plan which involves a potential offer to investors. In the context of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Principled Libertarian</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember, back in 1980, being enamored by Libertarian philosophy. It had ideological clarity and a pristine point of view. So, with a young group of ideological Mensans, I headed to the Libertarian National Convention, the objective of which was to nominate a Presidential candidate to actually run for office. The convention was held in Denver, Colorado, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tell the truth!

		<title>God&#8217;s Fingerprint</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To the extent our fingerprint is a manifestation of our individual identity, so too can we think of the the universe as God&#8217;s fingerprint.  The universe is the fingerprint of who God is and how God manifests: in science, in math, in art, in music, in language, in human evolution, and in all their components and derivations.
