		<description><![CDATA[First, a signal-boost for my friend Tahnan&#8217;s brilliant idea: I pledge to donate $10 to a safe drinking water charity for every day of Boston&#8217;s boil-water order. Will you join me, with whatever you can afford? The reservoir water coming out of my tap right now is a) clear and tasty, b) far safer than [...]]]></description>

Marcus and his too-smart-for-their-own-good punk friends are in the wrong place at a very wrong time &#8212; the destruction of the San Francisco Bay Bridge by terrorists.  They get picked up by Homeland Security, taken to a secret detention facility, and abused.  This experience focuses Marcus&#8217;s teen rebellion and, upon his release, he [...]]]></description>

I try not to talk about politics much in this blog, unless it has to do with a book I&#8217;ve read, or books in general, or libraries, or geekiness.  I try to stay on-topic.  (But look at the image there!  How on-topic is that?!)
I care about politics, though.  A whole lot. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the (Environmental Protection) Agency&#8217;s Earth Day history page:
EPA was born in 1970 &#8211; a time when rivers caught fire and cities were hidden under dense clouds of smoke. We&#8217;ve made remarkable progress since then in protecting human health and safeguarding the natural environment.
Remember 40 years ago, when life was like a science fiction movie? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally finished Michael Pollan&#8217;s The Omnivore&#8217;s Dilemma, in which he traces four meals &#8211; fast food, industrial organic (a la Whole Foods), local organic, and hunted/gathered by himself &#8211; from their origins in fields and factory farms to his table.  I don&#8217;t say this very often &#8211; in fact, I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of the activism I try to get people involved in seems like pushing against an unmoveable tide &#8211; the sort of thing where even if we, say, actually build Cape Wind, it&#8217;s only a drop in the bucket of the problem of renewable energy.  An important drop, but still.
This, though, is just stupid, [...]]]></description>
