		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times recently published an article, "In Tough Times, the Humanities Must Justify Their Worth."  The division between science and the humanities is a recent contrivance, and its maintenance has no good historical precedent.  The humanist training, the whetting of mental faculties that not only separate us from the animals but allow us to weigh and manage the fruit and potential fruit of our technical wizardry, is as essential to a growing society as the freedom that makes it possible.  ]]></description>

A government of peers, the message of Gov. Sarah Palin, is not a new message.  Stephen Harper rode that message to the Prime Minister&#8217;s Office here not long ago, his road greased by the neoprene wetsuittails of Stockwell Day and the Brylcreem of Preston Manning.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Drivers - non-criminal citizens from whom the police derive their power - are having their fear of being ticketed isolated, transformed into a fear of the police, and capitalized upon to drive a policy goal that in and of itself should never pass Section 1 muster.
Could the momentum of enshrining the police vs. citizens paradigm lead to the political annihilation of servamus?  In other words, could the potential transformative effects on society of engendering a public fear of police be out of proportion with traffic safety objectives?]]></description>
