		<description> &lt;p&gt;&quot;the old &quot;PS3 doesn&#039;t have any games&quot; line isn&#039;t that credible anymore, especially considering the console has yet to reach the year old mark&quot;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; So doesn&#039;t that mean the line either is still credible or not yet credible?&lt;/p&gt; </description>

		<description> &lt;p&gt;Well, you got me there, but it would have been the most credible way back before the release of Motorstorm.  I was just pointing out that many don&#039;t take the timing of the PS3&#039;s release into consideration.&lt;/p&gt; </description>

		<description> &lt;p&gt;Dan,&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; When you said one, I thought you meant &quot;only&quot; one.  I am quite content with Warhawk at the moment, so tugging the old &quot;PS3 doesn&#039;t have any games&quot; line isn&#039;t that credible anymore, especially considering the console has yet to reach the year old mark and roughly 85% percent of third party retail titles that came out or are coming out for the Xbox 360 since the PS3 launch are also coming to the PS3.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Not that I am saying you were tugging such a line, but that was my first impression and I apologize for jumping  to that conclusion.&lt;/p&gt; </description>

		<description> &lt;p&gt;Dan,&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I&#039;ve had no problems using Gmail with Twitter.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Twitter&#039;s perhaps the next stage of the Blogosphere, seems to me to be a hybrid of blogging and chatting, or at least potentially so.  (Remember that ill-fated commingling of blog/forum, heh.  Twitter actually may do it.)  I expect someday the folks at Twitter might increase the character limits, if only a little.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Actually, it&#039;s kind of a de-centralized forum.....&lt;/p&gt; </description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeffrey,</p>
<p> Catholicgauze admired Miss South Carolina&#39;s insightful prescription for geographic ignorance at well [1].</p>
<p> Eddie,</p>
<p> I wonder how long until genotype control is done through positive market incentives instead of through &#8220;education,&#8221; laissez-faire, or fines.</p>
<p> PurpleSlog,</p>
<p> Do you have a source for your criticisms.</p>
<p> The book under discussion is &#8220;Come by my light&#8221; [2], which will be released next month.</p>
<p> Jay &amp; Aaron,</p>
<p> Sounds like an interesting discussion!</p>

		<description> &lt;p&gt;Two suggestions:&lt;br /&gt; 1. I don&#039;t have a link yet, but the cover article for the latest Newsweek is about problems educating gifted children.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 2. Slate&#039;s hosting a debate of the Democratic candidates! For details, and information on how to submit questions, go here:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slate.com/id/2172924/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.slate.com/id/2172924/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; What questions would the rest of you ask? I asked the following (category before the colon)&lt;br /&gt; education: What is the proper role of the federal government in education, and what&#039;s better left to the states? How, if at all, should the Department of Education be revamped to better fill these roles?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Iraq: What long-term changes need to be made in the military and other branches of government to better deal with situations like Iraq and Afganistan?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Wildcards:&lt;br /&gt; What is your definition of Rule of Law? To the extent it is in trouble, what needs to be done to help it?&lt;br /&gt; &quot;Imperial Presidency&quot; has become a cliche. What, if anything, would you do to de-imperialise the office?&lt;br /&gt; Would you be willing to indict other members of your party for voter fraud?&lt;br /&gt; Are we living in a period of American Hegemony? Would the end of such a period be a threat to be fought, or an opportunity to be embraced?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; fun: $400 for a haircut? Wouldn&#039;t it be easier to just get a Yul Brynner?&lt;/p&gt; </description>
