		<title>International Disaster Response Agreement is Needed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After Haiti&#8217;s devastating earthquake, it is unfortunately apparent that the international community is still unprepared to deal with cataclysmic disasters which require coordinated and fast responses. Is it so difficult to call together, potentially at the UN since member states are all present, a series of conferences designed to create an international agreement detailing how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It physically pains me that I do not as of yet have enough to give to those who need;
It pains me to know that injustice can be cured (but is not);
It pains me to know lives are suffering;
It pains me to know there is greed in this world.
To be wealthy is not a vice should [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a fantastically wonderful even that James Cameron&#8217;s Avatar has been realized. Such an important and simple message was conveyed. James Cameron has made my hug list. He is a great storyteller and has conveyed the current situations faced by so many indigenous people (IPs) the world over.
Thank goodness. Maybe this will change people. [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Definition of Democracy and Analytic Framework</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone, this is an idea I have proposed in my PhD thesis. It is in its most basic form, but I think in this state it is clearest and should allow for logical criticisms, refutations, etc. I am interested in your opinions considering its logical assumptions. Please note that this work is copyrighted (Copyright [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Millennium3,
Thank you for sharing your points concerning Bhutan. I am quite familiar with the Constitutional Monarchy that is currently reigning, the changes that were made to increase &#8216;democracy&#8217;, and the King&#8217;s highly decent work concerning the happiness of his &#8217;subjects&#8217; (the happiness question in the Bhutan census has sparked a great deal of work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Darth Bane,
I agree with you that issues concerning transparency are definitely in the realm of how much can be shown without risking security, profit, etc. What I meant to say concerning transparency is that it is an endemic problem because of the struggle to gain more transparency in government. Most often, calls for transparency [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why do you think democracy is the best method known at this time?
Not all methods known have been tried.
Also, would limited democracy be better than universal suffrage?

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Youcanhandlethetruth,
I should have defined what I meant by &#8216;constitutionalism&#8217;. What I mean by that is constitutional issues. I do not, at all, think constitutions are bad. I do, however, think that they were &#8211; and are &#8211; all not correctly made (i.e. by elitists, and not in a long-term process, and not reflecting the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Clippo,
Thank you for the welcome and explanation of certain represented factions within this Forum. My personal opinion is that a diverse variety of ontology is most often a useful happenstance when seeking the weaknesses of a particular idea (as I am within this thread).
To answer your question concerning direct democracy would require a good [...]]]></description>
